Los cuerpos de la posguerra en la poesía de César Vallejo

Abstract

«Los cuerpos de la posguerra en la poesia de Cesar Vallejo» focuses on the peruvian poet’s journalistic and poetical writings of his parisian period (1923-1938). These writings are analized through the lens of the «catastrophe» period started by World War I considered by W. Benjamin and G. Didi Huberman as the decay of experience. Based on two textes about the mutilated, this study examines more specifically the pathways between prose and poetry, between referentiality and representation in Vallejo’s perception of the «tiny and fragile human body».
