MANUEL BANDEIRA AND LUCIANO DE CRESCENZO AS INTERTEXTUAL RE-CREATORS

Abstract

In this study, we present two writers who created through intertextual dialogue: the Brazilian Manuel Bandeira (1886-1968) and the Italian Luciano De Crescenzo (1928). From Manuel Bandeira we focus on the intertextual creative and re-creative dialogue in his poems, focusing on the analysis of the intertextual construction in the poem Antologia, through restricted intertextuality or autotextuality. From Luciano De Crescenzo we consider three novels: Elena, Elena, amore mio; Nessuno and Ulisse era un fico, focusing on the third novel to analyze the rewriting of the myth of Ulysses, already undertaken by De Crescenzo, based on the intertextual dialogue with Homeric texts in Nessuno. We rely on Rosenbaum (1993), Thomazello-Ramos (1994), Ramos & Nigro (1998), Ramos & Bellissimo (2017), Sant'Anna (1988) and Dallembach (1979) to compare the homologies existing between the intertextual constructions of the two authors studied.
