Spanish term or phrase: tradición del corte
I'm not sure what this means.

'tradición del corte' should mean simply 'traditional', but I don't quite understand it here. Can experimentation also be traditional? XX is the name of the (Austrian) poet, whose work, though apparently famed for its radical experimentation, also has echoes of the lyrical.

(The text has various typos, e.g. "inegrante" for "integrante", 'acoge a petas' for 'acoge a poetas'.)

"En XX la tradición poética y la experimentación como **tradición del corte**, interactúan, no constituyen en el pensiamento del poeta energías divergentes que no puedan ser reducidas al texto único

tradition of this kind/type


Explanation:
It seems difficult to ascertain the meaning from this context alone, but my suggestion comes from a meaning of the word "corte". Sometimes it is used in expressions to say something belongs to a kind or a class of thing.

Some examples of this use:
