Gloss and between gloss: Murilo Mendes - Arthur Rimbaud, Oswald de Andrade - Blaise Cendrars

Abstract

The purpose of exploring the relationship between Brazilian and French literatures needs to sustain interpretations by intertextuality able to provide ways to enhance any kind of glosses, directly or indirectly reinvidicated. This means to reject the concept of « influence », imposed by arborescent model ­— that works with vertical and linear connections —, in favor of using the concept of « ryzom » for intertext — that allows for multiple, non-hierarchical entry and exit points in data representation and interpretation. So doing, this paper proposes to echoate some literary noises, kind of personal and universal poetic marks, between Murilo Mendes and Arthur Rimbaud, Oswald de Andrade and Blaise Cendrars
