Abstract
The main goal of this research is to follow Kenneth Goldsmith’s hint that the paradigm for the 21st century poetry, in its unoriginal scope, should be thought as an approximation between poetry and internet memes. After a brief exposition on what seems to be implied in his suggestion, this article will focus on a small panorama of some of the unoriginal experimentations on Brazilian contemporary poetry. Thereafter, this investigation will propose a systematization of the unoriginal authorship’s paradoxical status through a medial theory, aiming to outline some of the contemporary literary critics common positioning. Finally, all these matters will be capitulated through a theory of images, which could lead the unoriginal to new possible contexts of analysis.
