Abstract

Starting with the experimental poetry of the past few decades, this work defends the impossibility of drawing a clear line between literary continuity and rupture. Due to the diverse experiences of subalternisation that it has faced, Catalan culture has both celebrated the concept of continuity and associated rupture with extinction. The article examines this approach in the belief that cultural transmission can also be built from discontinuity, interruption and counter-discourse. The justification of this hypothesis will be based on the study of uses and readings of Gabriel Ferrater's poetry by authors such as Carles Hac Mor, Vicenç Altaió and Víctor Sunyol, and on the study of the semiotic dimension of illegibility in the texts of Miquel Bach and other poets.
