During this article, I argue that Góngora was read by Perlongher with a creative direction, far from philological pretensions, which allowed him to encrypt some concepts within his aesthetic proposal. e conformation of the Neo-Baroque has created a critical vulgate that assumes the confluence of postmodern philosophy, the works of Lezama Lima and Severo Sarduy, and a rereading of the Golden Baroque, however the latter has not been quite observed or is taken for granted without investigating the nooks and the scope of its presence. is article contributes to gauge the role and influence that the reading of a baroque poet of the XVIIth century had within a poet linked to a literary movement of the XXth century.
