Article Title：Is a Gongora sonnet also a eulogy?
Abstract：
This paper calls the identity of lyrical poetry as literary genre into question, starting from a study of the circumstantial poetry. Firstly, an analysis of the first courtly sonnet by Gongora: 'A Don Cristobal de Mora' (1593) shows that the poem si at the same time a literary discourse and a pragmatic one (in order to get the noble's favour). Secondly, a theoretical approach to this problem tries to conclude that the literary genre of lyric contains infinity of texts acting in actual contexts, whose literary quality arises from formal (in the widest sense) features.
Keywords: pragmatics of poetry; Luis de Gongora; emblematical literature
