PO-EX: the poetic as an event under the night of the salazarist fascism in Portugal

The year 2014 marks the 40th anniversary of the Carnation Revolution an event that ends with the Salazarist dictatorship in Portugal, one of the more long-lasting ones in Western Europe. Having as a pretext this ephemeris, the article seeks to understand the "PO-EX"- a literary movement that renewed the Portuguese Poetry between the years 1960's and 1970's - as sign of a time in which the language, not only in Portugal but in a great part of the world, became a problem of historical order. From a theoretical point of view this work is supported by the idea that language is one of the places where history happens, while from an empirical point of view, this work draws, basically, on theoretical texts and documents from Portuguese Experimental Poetry.
