Autotextuality in Nicanor Parra: Limit/exhaust/recycle

Abstract

After confirming the extraordinary importance of intertextuality in Nicanor Parra's anti-poetry, this article approaches several of the possible meanings that autotextuality takes on in his work, studied in its double form of self-quotations or partial and variant quotations or partial referential quotations. These meanings are the consideration of the work as "open " "unfinished", or "imperfect", the impossibility of limiting and exhausting the poem, and finally, the proposal of a way of "recycling " that we can designate as "literary": these particularly significant formulations or procedures are separated selectively; there is a saving of resources that achieves maximum poetic effectiveness; the life of the materials is prolonged and Parra's ecological vocation is given a central position, which has been clear at least since the publication of Ecopoemas in 1982.
