The spatial element in Chilean Vanguardia poems and in Ecuatorial by Huidobro

Abstract

Based on the study and analysis of a delimited number of ‘vanguardista’ and ‘mundonovista’ Chilean poems (1920-1939) and from Ecuatorial by Vicente Huidobro (1818), this article describes the diverse spatial themes, especially the ones related to landscaping, which correspond with apparently divergent artistic sensibilities, in order to demonstrate that the poems, both the avant-garde or experimental ones and  the more residual ones, evidence a very particular modern sensibility, heterogeneous in the quality of its relation to the environment.
