Breve estudo da forma no auto da barca do inferno, de Gil Vicente

Abstract

In creating his theatrical pieces, Gil Vicente still has in his textual records the structural form of medieval poetics. As an extension of what was produced in the compositions published in Garcia de Resendeǯs Cancioneiro Geral, so Gil Vicente reproduces in his plays. At the time of the Cancioneiro Geral, many poems reflect already certain theatricality as we can observe in the dramatically poetry or dramatically dialogue, mainly in Anrique da Mota poetry, a text Ǯsometimes corrective of social practices, retrieving and reaffirming its doctrinal potentialityǯ. Despite innovating in the pieces, inspired by those of his Spanish contemporary, Juan de Encina, Vicente maintains the same formal structures celebrated in the compendium of Garcia de Resende. This brief study intends to analyze how Vicente's records were developed, specifically in the formal structure of the Auto da Barca do Inferno.
