APPROPRIATION AND INDETERMINATION IN RUI PIRES CABRAL’S POETRY: FROM PERSONAL MEMORY TO THE ‘MOST MATERIAL’ INSPIRATION POSSIBLE
Abstract
This article intends to think about the techniques of appropriation that are used in the work of the contemporary Portuguese poet Rui Pires Cabral. The author inserts, since his first books, excerpts of music or literature in his poems, creating a dialog with other arts through writing. This dialog becomes even clearer with the recent use of collage by the poet, which is the ‘most material’ inspiration possible.
