Abstract
RESUMEN:A menudo, los monólogos dramáticos de Luis Cernuda difieren de otros usos más ortodoxos del género al no crear la suficiente distancia entre la máscara y la voz. En “Silla del rey” elige como personaje al monarca español Felipe II. La representación del rey no es perfecta, y el autor rompe a veces la máscara de Felipe II para enseñar su propio rostro a través de la introducción de comentarios metapoéticos más propios de un escritor que de un rey. Además, este personaje es un paradójico correlato de Cernuda, puesto que el rey y El Escorial eran reconocidos símbolos de la retórica franquista. En este ensayo, ayudándome de las teorías críticas de Edward Said y Hayden White, analizo “Silla del rey” y la presencia meta-poética e irónica de Cernuda en el poema para desvelar las estrategias retóricas con las que critica el discurso historiográfico franquista.Abstract (Lang: English):Luis Cernuda designs his own version of the dramatic monologue, since he does not create enough distance between his characters and his own voice. In “Silla del rey,” Cernuda chooses as a character King Philip II, who meditates in the poem on the construction of El Escorial. This representation is not perfect, and Cernuda breaks the mask of Felipe II to show his own skin, usually by expressing metapoetic musings more akin to the author than to the king. Furthermore, this character seems a paradoxical correlate to Cernuda, since the king and El Escorial were well-known symbols of an essentialist rhetoric with which Francoist historiography told Spanish history. In this essay, I read “Silla del rey” and analyze the metapoetic presence of Cernuda in Felipe II as a rhetorical strategy to undermine Francoist historiographical discourse.
