The “thought knot” of Luis Miguel Nava. Scenes, allegories, bodies and memories

Abstract

A reading of the Portuguese Poet Luis Miguel Nava (1957-1995) as of a hypothesis grounded on the idea of Nava's poetical speech as convergence of the abstract-experimental trend of the sixties and mimetical-referencial of the seventies, a powerfully personal synthesis, that articulates these esthetical contexts of the Portuguese poetry to concepts such as allegory and cultural experience and memory.
