Contemporary Portuguese Feminine Poetry

Abstract

While gathering together both central and marginal authors, this paper intends to both redefine the importance of a possible feminine aesthetic in Portugal today, as well as to go back to discussions implied in concepts of identity and belonging. Finally, by enumerating the authors, their works and signalling clear-cut poetical references, we search for new perspectives on poetics and politics: contemporary, aesthetic poetics, inscribed in and through women.
