Subject matter
1- Text and the dependence on context: «Pierre Ménard» by J. L. Borges. The contemporary unravelling of that dependence: Deleuze and Guattari´s «rhizome».
2- The text as a process. Principles of Genetic Criticism: towards a science of writing.
3- The opposition between linguistic and bibliographic code. Effects of graphic materiality: William Blake as a reference; literary journals; different types of graphic novels; Gonçalo M. Tavares´ fiction with photographs.
4- The combination of verbal, plastic and phonographic texts: relations book-cd, book-dvd. Examples of Pessoa, Cesariny, Haroldo de Campos.
5- The performing quality as a concept and as an Avant-Garde vector: the paradigmatic case of Almada Negreiros, the manifests, the conferences and the theatre. Alberto Pimenta as a performer.
6- Montage as a mode of written production: the examples of Huismans, Eliot, Burroughs, Alexandre O´Neill, Herberto Helder, Godard, César Monteiro.
