Cultured molds in the poetry of Joseba Sarrionandia

Abstract

The article will analyse the presence and function of different cultured moulds in the author Joseba Sarrionandia’s corpus of poetry. For this goal, we will pay attention to two types of texts: «closed» structures of cultured tradition (sonnet, epigrams, haikus); and writings that are distinguished by the subject or form of epic enunciation. These texts are dispersed in publications of various genres, and although brief references have been made to them, there has been no attempt to analyse them together systematically. For this reason we want to analyse when did the poet Sarrionandia use them, and which were the uses of cultured tradition.
