Self-definition through poetry in the work of Gloria Fuertes and Pilar Paz Pasamar in the period 1950-1970
No full textBased on a comparative method of enquiry, this thesis analyses the process of self-definition expressed in the work of Gloria Fuertes (Madrid, 1917-1998) and Pilar Paz Pasamar (Jerez de la Frontera, 1933) as individual alternatives to the collective ethos and literary practices promoted within the patriarchal society of Franco’s Spain. Recognizing the poets’ cultural and socio-political context as determining factors in their experiences as women and poets, and therefore in their outlook and poetics, this context and how it is reflected in their poetry provides the starting point (Chapter 1). Both poets acknowledge that writing poetry can provide them with a metaphorical space of freedom that enables them to develop their identity and explore their preoccupations. Therefore, their thoughts about poetry provide an important theme that occurs in the poetry of both (Chapter 2). Closely related to this is the link they establish between poetic inspiration and the divine, which in the case of Pilar Paz Pasamar leads to the attempt to use the special qualities of poetic language to refer to a universal truth that she is aware of and which transcends the capabilities of language, while Gloria Fuertes regards poetry as a divine gift that can provide solace and is ultimately able to improve the world (Chapter 3). The fourth chapter focuses on specific elements of the two poets’ work that reveal the distinctive mechanisms of self-construction they develop. The section on Fuertes considers humour as a survival strategy that enables the poet to reach out to her readership and emphasize her focus on the here and now, while the discussion on Paz’s work looks at how the use of sea imagery allows her to convey abstract experiences based on introspection. Thus, it is argued that their poetry reflects the different strategies the two women develop – based on integration in the case of Fuertes and a more separate position in the case of Paz – to define themselves in relation to their world

En otra memoria una lámpara encendida: Acercamiento a la poesía de Gloria Gervitz
No full textEn el presente artículo se estudiará la representación de la memoria y la conformación del sujeto lírico femenino en Fragmento de ventana de Gloria Gervitz. Partiendo de una visión hermenéutica de los objetos representados, tomada del filósofo polaco Roman Ingarden, veremos cómo surge la memoria como un elemento correpresentado, convocador de la sujeto y de las otras voces que la van conformando en el discurso poético. Ellas, las voces, dan una historia y un destino que se perciben a través de la ventana, de la memoria como una lámpara encendida.Abstract: In this article we shall study the representation of memory and the conformation of the lyrical subject in Fragmento de la ventana by Gloria Gervitz. From Roman Ingarden’s hermeneutical perspective we shall see the emergence of memory and the rise of voices which fashion the lyrical female subject through the poetic utterance. The voices render a story and a destiny perceived through the window, through memory like a shining lamp
