The death´s configuration in the poetic discourse of Javier Heraud

Keywords: social poetry, pure poetry, Javier Heraud, monosemic and bisemic symbol.

Abstract

The purpose of this paper is to contrast the configuration of the topic of death in the poems by Javier Heraud belonging to pure poetry, «Las moscas»[Flies] and «Las cucarachas» [Cockroaches], with those belonging to social poetry, «Balada del guerrillero que partió» [Ballad of the departed guerrilla fighter] and «Ellos»[They], respectively. The study argues that, in the poems of pure poetry, a bisemic symbology is represented by the
figure of the «insect», which alludes to capitalism and death; while in the poems of social poetry, a monosemic symbology is represented by the figure of the «river», which refers to life.
