ALBERTO PIMENTA

UNCERTAIN HOUSES

Abstract

The article discusses part of the most recent production of the poet, essayist and performer Alberto Pimenta from two points: a) the insistent formal instability sought by the author, who with each new project seems to reinvent his work by discarding the previously construction procedures and always looking for new questions and new possible dialogues with literary tradition, the focus of his most recent works, and b) the maintenance, in projects very different from each other, of political commitments and the critical dimension of the author's writings, who turns his gaze, once again, for the lives of the poorest and for the injustices of the contemporary world, especially for what is happening in the world of labor relations in Portugal, in particular, and on the margins of Europe, in general.
