Abstract

Please note: this article is in Greek. The confluence of prose and poetic discourse in Yiannis Ritsos’ work. Initial observations: Yiannis Ritsos since 1936 — and especially during the years 1956–1975 — developed an interesting, from a theoretical, historical and critical perspective, paratextual practice; a practice combining poetic discourse with surrounding prose narrative parts as distinct but equal components in many of his long synthetic works. We maintain that this practice can be productively described if we adopt the following analytical axes: generic identity of the narrative parts, relation of the narrative parts to the poetic discourse, communicative characteristics and functions of the narrative parts. In this paper we attempt a review of the relevant research, based on the aforementioned axes, and we make a few preliminary observations about Ritsos’ paratextual practice.
