Gabriela Mistral: Temas y lenguajes constitutivos de identidad

Main Article Content

Jaime Blume S.

Abstract

The present article is inserted within a greater project (the determination of the Chilean cultural identity from its arts) and within that objective, it proposes an analysis of Gabriela Mistral's poetic speech taken as expression of the Chilean cultural identity. This study has two main sections, each one is an overhaul of the poet's thematic universe: Love and Word. The first subject of love registers within the amplest thematic constellation (human love, divine love, death, frustration, American mythology, the feminine, Motherland and Matria, the founding elements of the world, etc.). The overhaul of these subjects leads to Gabriela Mistral's cosmological and anthropological vision. The subject of the word, on the other hand, establishes the fundamental times of the Mistralian speech (shout, word, ask, silence), soon to derive to the analysis of the original characteristics of the mentioned language. Subjects and language happen to become expression of the Chilean cultural identity.
