- Title
La cantiga de maldecir como modelo de cantar injurioso y la duplicidad satírica de la lírica gallegoportuguesa.
- Authors
García, Santiago Gutiérrez
- Abstract
Studies of the two Galician-Portugues satirical genres, the "cantigas de escarnio" and the "cantigas de maldizer," were usually based on indications offered by the poetic treatise known as the "Arte de trovar." According to the fragmentary work, both genres differ from each other in that the "cantigas de escarnio" are distinguished by the use of "aequivocatio" (equivocation); and the "cantigas de maldizer" by direct satire without double meaning. However, the "Arte de trovar" is a late work, distant, in some respects, form the poetic reality it describes, so that its prescription should not be accepted without question. The present article studies the indications in this poetic treatise relating to the satirical genres and postulates that their distinctions, based on the use of "aequivocatio," were late emerging and conditioned by the interpretations made in the lyric texts themselves.
