Rewriting of intertextual memory and narrative genres in contemporary Portuguese writers

Abstract

In the area of fiction, the writing of contemporary Portuguese authors clearly evidences an important tendency towards intertextual rewriting, with several procedures applying to dialogism. On the one hand, a fruitful noncomplex relationship is underlined within the same intertextual grammar; on the other hand, there is a definitely innovative attitude. Overcoming late vanguard experimentalisms, it is possible to witness several renewed forms of ironic intertextuality that rewrites and redefines the frontiers of fiction and of the narrative genres.
