Experimentalism, performance, ressignification and resistance: comments and brief analysis of "errata (in the form of sonette)", Fernando Aguiar

Abstract

In this paper, I talk about Experimentalism, redetermination, performance and resistance. I show, initially, a small context of Experimentalism in Portugal, commenting on both Poesia 61 and Po-Ex group, initiators of Experimentalism in that country. Then, I talk briefly about association of poetry with digital media, about performative poetry and polypoetry. I still talk about the issues of redetermination and the resistance, and, lastly, in aim to show, even briefly, how all these issues dialogue in a performance poem. I do a quick analysis of "Errata (em forma de soneto)"; performance held on May 9, 2009 by Portuguese experimentalist Fernando Aguiar. For all discussions made here, I count on the help of texts by E. M. de Melo e Castro, Ana Hatherly, Rui Torres, Fernando J. B. Martinho, António Carlos Cortez, Denise Guimarães, Paul Zumthor, Enzo Minarelli, Michel Foucault, Ernesto Sousa, and by Fernando Aguiar.
