The chapter demonstrates Cavalcanti’s resistance towards any sort of unitary poetics or accounts of self and his ambivalence towards religious authority as a source of literary validation. Cavalcanti’s divergence from his predecessors is demonstrated through analysis of his own poetry in dialogue with the works of Guittone, Guinizzelli, and Dante. The chapter explores Cavalcanti’s alternative model of subjectivity and love poetry, in which his texts perform an irreducibly polyphonic subjectivity through multiple personifications, justified by natural philosophy. This analysis foregrounds the importance of an intra-discursive dialogism, in which poetry and subjectivity are generated through tensions and internalized dialogues.","PeriodicalId":319616,"journal":{"name":"Poetry in Dialogue in the Duecento and Dante","volume":"69 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-11-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132544128","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This analysis is the first step in a discussion of the ‘corrective intertextuality’ used by authors (including Dante) to construct teleological narratives of subjectivity, often with recourse to religious authority. The chapter confronts the tension between irony and sincerity inherent in Guittone’s particular, intertwined performances of subjectivity and conversion across his whole corpus. The chapter gives an in-depth account of the destabilizing effects of (Frate) Guittone’s two voices and two phases of poetic writing.","PeriodicalId":319616,"journal":{"name":"Poetry in Dialogue in the Duecento and Dante","volume":"8 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-11-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114368533","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
