1. 'Electrònicolírica' by Herberto Helder and PO.EX Combinatorics

   Herberto Helder died. Helder is one of the most consistent and innovative Portuguese poets of the second half of the 20th century. Even if his later œuvre has been marked by a traditional experimentalist reworking of crafted language, whose poiesis engages with a very idiosyncratic vocabulary, one should not forget Helder’s eclectic trajectory. Having been influenced by, among other movements, Surrealism and international avant-garde experimentalism, Herberto Helder was, firstly together with António Aragão (1964), and secondly with Aragão and E. M. de Melo e Castro (1966), the editor of two important anthologies or cadernos (chapbooks), Poesia Experimental 1 [Experimental Poetry 1] and Poesia Experimental 2 [Experimental Poetry 2]. Both these anthologies opened up most of the major pathways of literary and artistic experimentalism in the 1960s, from which the PO.EX (Experimental POetry) movement emerged.

2. «Electrònicolírica» de Herberto Helder e Combinatória PO.EX

   Herberto Helder morreu. Helder é um dos poetas portugueses mais consistentes e inovadores da segunda metade do século vinte. Ainda que a sua obra mais recente tenha sido marcada por um trabalho de reformulação da linguagem que podemos considerar como um experimentalismo tradicionalista, cuja poiesis se empenha e se alicerça num vocabulário idiossincrático, não podemos esquecer a trajectória ecléctica de Helder. Tendo sido influenciado, entre outros, pelo surrealismo e pelo experimentalismo vanguardista internacional, Herberto Helder foi, primeiro com António Aragão (1964), e depois com Aragão e E. M. de Melo e Castro (1966), editor de dois importantes cadernos antológicos, Poesia Experimental 1e Poesia Experimental 2. Os cadernos desencadearam a maior parte dos principais caminhos do experimentalismo literário e artístico dos anos 1960, a partir dos quais o movimento da PO.EX (POesia.EXperimental) emergiu.

3. Performance Art, Experimental Poetry and Electronic Literature in Portugal: An Intermedial Archive to an Intermedial Practice of Language

   Considering electronic literature from a temporal perspective calls for a redefinition of our classical notions of time. It is impossible to anticipate its end because electronic literature appears as dynamic, and cyclic. Therefore, in order to think this ever-present artistic manifestation in its radical meanings and in a futuristic perspective, it is useful to know its past.

   In Portugal, electronic literature, experimental poetry, and performance art share and explore the same performative concept of language, re-examining fundamental literary notions such as author, space, time, audience, medium, mediation and materiality. In this paper, we will present an intermedial archive to illustrate an intermedial field of practice.

   This paper is thus based on current research on the history of Portuguese performance art. After framing and pointing out the close relationship between experimental poetry, performance art, and electronic literature in Portugal, we will present a timeline of Portuguese performance art (1915-1990), which will soon be available in the Digital Archive of Portuguese Experimental Literature (www.po-ex.net).
