Abstract

QUISPE MENDIVIL, Yoselin. The death´s configuration in the poetic discourse of Javier Heraud. Bol. Acad. peru. leng. [online]. 2021, n.69, pp.93-124. ISSN 0567-6002.  http://dx.doi.org/10.46744/bapl.202101.004.

The purpose of this paper is to contrast the configuration of the topic of death in the poems by Javier Heraud belonging to pure poetry, «Las moscas»[Flies] and «Las cucarachas» [Cockroaches], with those belonging to social poetry, «Balada del guerrillero que partió» [Ballad of the departed guerrilla fighter] and «Ellos»[They], respectively. The study argues that, in the poems of pure poetry, a bisemic symbology is represented by the figure of the «insect», which alludes to capitalism and death; while in the poems of social poetry, a monosemic symbology is represented by the figure of the «river», which refers to life.

Keywords : social poetry; pure poetry; Javier Heraud; monosemic and bisemic symbol.
