Abstract The aim of this research finds its delimitation in the study of Tristia and the Epistulae ex Ponto, poems on the ovidian exile, that extended until his death. In these works, the discursive construction of the topic of exile joins the poetic reflection about the previous work. When analysing the way in which the poet conceives exile before and after his own relegatio, it emerges as hypothesis to evaluate, on the one hand, to what extend the form of representation of the suffering caused by the distancing of the homeland used in the ovidian pre-exile works repeats itself in these poems, and, on the other hand, which are the ovidian innovations that leads to believe in the generation of a "poetic of exile". Moreover, we propose to analyse the impact that the author's previous works, and other Augustan poets' works as well, have on the configuration of this poetics. The poet's choice of genre - once again the elegiac epistles - seems to be appropriate, not only because the epistles prove to be effective for the transmission of poetic reflection (whose immediate antecedent are Horace's epistles), but also because of the fact that, by writing in elegiac epistles once again, Ovid closes his poetic career giving prestige to the genre that he described as ignotum opus (Ars 3. 346). We seek to demonstrate that Tristia and Epistulae ex Ponto can be read as poetologic pieces, i. e., reflexive works that recover the ovidian and pre-ovidian poetic tradition, combining it with the new central theme of his works: exile. With them, Ovid offers his last novelty, by systematizing the topics, personae, metaphors and conceptions of the alien space, institutionalizing the theme of exile. (AU) | |
