Antigrafías de lugares gaudinianos: de Dau al Set a Pere Gimferrer
abstract
There is a visceral, hidden link, that connects the exponents of Dau al Set (especially in the figure of Joan Brossa) and some writers, such as Joan Perucho and Pere Gimferrer, with the attempt to describe architectures seen, experienced and perceived, to narrate them in a vision that becomes words, verses, rhetorical figures. It is a common feeling, which emerges in the (re)invention of mainly Gaudinian places and spaces, which can find expression by verbalizing scenarios of man-made cities and landscapes in which history has left its more or less evident traces. Here we analyse some texts by Brossa, Perucho and Gimferrer, in which that common erudite sensitivity emerges and it is manifested as attention to correlations (citations that intertwine) to build literary universes. It stands out, as we will try to explain, a sensitivity for a positively choreographic architecture, specifically that of Antoni Gaudí, that unites these authors, who, although they have slightly different formal intentions, are partly similar, but not assimilable.
