Chilean poetry: Representations of terror and subject fragmentation during the first years of dictatorship

Abstract

The objective of this article is to analyze the poetic representations during the first period of the Chilean dictatorship, with special attention to the development of political and aesthetic reconstructions. Conceptions such as the fallen reason, lost paradise nostalgia, need to reconstruct history, search for new languages, configurate a map of diverse discourse strategies in Chile as well as outside the country. All of them, shape a singular and specific matrix of great perspectives for the later poetic production.
