Item type:Publication, César Vallejo: a poet of the event(Palgrave Macmillan Cham, 2023-11-02)This book argues that the poetry of César Vallejo announces the event, as a moment of irruption of a truth that destabilises the usual state of reality. It studies the emergence of a subject who affirms a truth that exceeds the law, interrupts hegemonic repetition, asserts universal solidarity, and defends "lost causes" despite political failure. The author reconfigures the traditional reading of Vallejo only as a poet of pain and human suffering, and offers new ways of understanding the relationship between poetry and politics.5 - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings
Item type:Publication, A Poet of the Communist Event(2023-11-03)Vallejo is a poet who testifies that something important has taken place in the world. He understood communism as the possibility of reconciling the human being with history, with nature and with himself. If human history was a tale of scarcity and social exploitation, communism could turn it into a productive, just, and egalitarian action. Vallejo celebrated the advances of modernity, but questioned the concentration of capital, the new culture of consumption, and the dominant interests of the centers of power. This chapter addresses how Vallejo’s poetry shows the communist attemp to change the world, but also underlines the painful simulacrum of a set of dark forces that systematically prevent it.6
