RE: ADSactly Literature: The Count of Lautréamont or a Poetry of the Future (Part II)
In my opinion, self-reflexivity is one of the most interesting literary mechanisms in modern literature. To know, not only what the writer or narrator thinks of the literary work, but what he may think he knows about the reader, as if he were reading the reader's mind, is a very intelligent game of complicity. As for intertextuality, it should be said that I have read some studies that have taken this resource as a form of plagiarism in Lautréamont. It is a pleasure to read you always, @josemalavem
I agree with you that conscience of intertextuality and the exercise of self-reflexivity are two of the main contributions of literary modernity. And both have in Lautréamont one of their most radical proponents. The preclarity of Lautréamont is so great that, with a provocative sense, he says in Poesías: "Plagiarism is necessary. It is implicit in progress".
Thanks for your right comment, @nancybriti. Greetings.
