La loba y la luciérnaga. La heterogeneidad del discurso poético de Rosabetty Muñoz y Sonia Caicheo

Abstract

This article contains an analysis of the poetic texts of Sonia Caicheo and Rosabetty Muñoz, writers who were born in Chiloé. We propose that the poetic discourse of both writers is configured as a heterogeneous and multiple text which is related to the condition –real or fictitious– of marginal subjects and occasionally oral subjects who belong to and are nurtured by an equally heterogeneous culture. We identify the elements that conform the heterogeneity of these poetic discourses and indicate the recurring procedures (motives, figures, images) from which they are constituted. We support our proposal on three theoretical concepts: dialogism or intertextuality, fictitious orality or “recreation of oralit and material imagination. We propose to prove the relevance acquired by the materiality of water and earth in the poetics of Caicheo and Muñoz. We believe that the poetry of both Sonia Caicheo and Rosabetty Muñoz is strongly linked to the earth, which is often the element which identifies them.
