Evolución de la relación entre texto e imagen en la poesía chilena: Vicente Huidobro, Nicanor Parra y Juan Luis Martínez

The present reflection focuses on the phenomenon of writing and image. It is an evolutionary revision within the Chilean poetry from the moment in which the non-scriptural image made its appearance through the calligrams of Vicente Huidobro to later give way to the artifacts of Nicanor Parra arriving, finally, at the Installations of objects in “box-books” by Juan Luis Martínez. The present study addresses the type of relationship that evolves between image and text from the image “within” the text, passing through the text ‘within’ the image and, finally, arriving at/to/until the object-image. The “absent” text, which gives it meaning, arises as a responsibility of the reader. The reflection addresses the rejection of “pure writing” as an element that eradicates these texts from the metaphysics of the presence of logos, especially in the first two cases (Huidobro and Parra), while there would seem to be an ambiguity in Martínez, insofar as he is not giving all the elements necessary (for the reader) to construct the sense. Martinez encourages the reader to take charge of giving meaning to the elements that he provides (antilogocentric gesture), and, at the same time, he delivers the elements in his “box-books” which are impregnated with a beloved “authenticity”(hyperlogocentric gesture). This is why it is possible to speak of ambiguity

El mito de Neruda filmatizado. El poeta imaginado y documentado

In this article, I will present the mythological character of signifiers (Barthes, 1957) inbiographical as well as autobiographical texts which subject has been the fictionalization ofthe Chilean poet Pablo Neruda. This is an interpretative reading of signifiers that are closeto the term of realem (Even Zohar, 1978) or are realems. The reflection is about thestrategies used to present contents that have an ideological signification as the nature ofthings. The empirical material consists of two fictionalizations of Pablo Neruda’s life:Michel Radfords Il postino (1999) and Luis R. Vera’s Neruda el hombre y su obra (2004)

Tauromaquia —o ese extraño placer de la visualización de la muerte—

The present article focuses on the practice of bullfighting and the significantthickness that goes beyond the simple act of the modern spectacle. It is anattempt to archaeological and semiotic reading of this practice, seen as afossilized ritual of other older practices and meanings that drags on their waythrough the successive civilizations that have given its origin. The thickness ofthese readings does not rule out a possibility of psychoanalytic interpretationrelated with a reflection on the symbolic link between the bull and power. Allthose layers of significant thickness may explain the irrational fascinationSpanish or Latin American people audience that assist and live, perhapsunthinkingly, (read unconsciously) forgotten symbols and rituals
