Abstract

Three novels by the Portuguese writer José Saramago - Levantado do chão, Memorial do Convento and O ano da morte de Ricardo Reis - are the subject of analysis for the proposal of a poetics of parody in the author's novel writing. To do so, it is necessary to start from an updated conception of the metagenre of parody, distinguishing several operative dimensions - intertextual parody, architectural parody and interdiscursive parody. In this way, this study aims to analyse the various operative and semantic dimensions of parody; and, at the same time, to question the place of parody in the aesthetic and cultural worldview of this author.
