Abstract

The posthumous edition of Diario 1999 has prompted a new direction for critical research about literary works by Valentino Zeichen, a Rijeka poet. A comparative study about radio plays, lyrics and novels can demonstrate that Zeichen is not an epigrammatic poet, such as Catullo and Marziale. He often preferred to serve the logic of desecration for improving the comparison between poetry and subjects unrelated to literature, such as society and city life. From Area di rigore to Casa di rieducazione and La sumera we have to look at a particular aspect of a lyrical manner that is focused on the conflict between Gemeinschaft and Gesellschaft. This struggle is made possible thanks to using a logical strategy called intensional isomorphism. This process provides a condition strong enough to guarantee interchangeability salva veritate in opaque contexts, e.g. belief-sentences or fiction. So we can demonstrate this attitude if we will consider what involves different changes for Tana per tutti and La sumera.
