Hacia una genealogía de las poéticas vanguardistas chilenas: Juan Emar y Nicanor Parra

Abstract

This article attempts to draw attention to the foundational role of the literary production of Juan Emar in the national letters, in particular, its fruitful dialogue with the antipoesia de Parra. It is proposed that both in Miltin 1934 and the Antipoesia de Parra we attend the practice of carnivalization of the divine-sublime. In this direction, both avant-garde poetics modulate one of the edges the “unfinished project of modernity” (Habermas): the simbolic death of God and the simbolic space; connotated by the topico of the spheres music. Topico that in both authors is given in a questioning of a critique of an aesthetic of the sublime; that prevailed in criticism of that period.
