WRITING AND VISUALITY IN LOIS PEREIRO’S POESIA ÚLTIMA DE AMOR E ENFERMIDADE

Abstract

This article proposes a discussion about the relationship between writing and visuality in the book Poesia última de amor e enfermidade by galician poet Lois Pereiro, specially four of its poems, for which portuguese translation are presented as an addendum. We move accross authors who have reflected upon the problem of the object-book and the iconicity of writing, such as: Roland Barthes, Michel Butor, Anne-Marie Christin, Georges Didi-Huberman, Gotthold Lessing, Stephane Mallarmé, Michel Melot, Georges Perec and Denis Roche. Through the ideas of these authors, we discuss the problem of the organization of Pereiro’s book, from the problem of the double page and the intertextual dialogue that it establishes.
