- Title
¿Modelo para armar? La fragmentación de la mujer en Veinte poemas de amor y una canción desesperada.
- Authors
García, Gustavo V.
- Abstract
While the presence of the beloved is unavoidable in Veinte poemas de amor y una canción desesperada by Pablo Neruda her description is ambiguous. In some poems she is "body" or some female body parts; in others, on the other hand, she is transformed into "remembrance," "longing," "beret," "harbor" or "word". With these kinds of descriptions the poet does not give the quality of a person to his beloved. In effect, this textual dissection is an imprecise and distorted representation because it portrays the woman as parts of her body or the sum of these parts. The being that he supposedly loves, or whose "unique" beauty he wants to praise is a portion of flesh that could mean the universe to him without ever being what it is: a subject with her own identity
