Resum

In 1950, Dinos Christianopoulos broke into the Greek literary field, a poet with a style that was unusual until then in Greek letters. With a first and brief phase marked by the influence of Cavafy, Christianopoulos will quickly detach himself from this literary paternity and look for new spaces to give rise to a poetry absolutely soaked in a disturbing sexuality. Far from the militancy of LGTBIQ+ parties or associations, his poetic work moves through the most marginal spaces of his city, Thessaloniki, registering a series of "outlaw" dynamics. After doing, in the first place, a quick review of the homosexual liberation movements in the seventies and eighties in Greece, the work goes on to analyse the spaces, identities and sexual dynamics of the generation of homosexual writers like Christianopoulos. In the following three chapters, the whole of his poetic production is analysed through the cross-reading of studies on antisocial queer theories by Leo Bersani, Lee Edelman and Jack Halberstam, with special emphasis on the death drive, queer negativity and the affective turn. The aim, therefore, is to present Christianopoulos as literary criticism has not done until now: the first modern Greek author who writes, consciously, from the point of sexual dissidence.
