A intertextualidade interna no hino nacional “Pátria” e na poesia “Um minuto de silêncio” de Francisco Borja da Costa

What we intend to address in this work is to identify the common elements and intertextual relationships found in the National Anthem of Timor-Leste, “Pátria” (Homeland), and in the poem “Um Minuto de Silêncio” (A Minute of Silence). We also intend to highlight how Francisco Borja da Costa used poetry as an instrument of awareness and resistance, giving voice to the struggle of the Timorese people. Therefore, this study begins by presenting the conceptual definition of text and intertextuality, presenting a brief history of Timorese resistance linked to the life and work of Francisco Borja da Costa.
