Este artículo se inserta en el campo de los estudios de la poesía oral, más específicamente el de las competencias de poetry slam, tomando como caso el Slam Coalkan, primer evento indígena a nivel mundial en ese formato, realizado en 2021 a través de una colaboración entre festivales de Brasil y Canadá, que reunió poetas de los hemisferios sur y norte de Abya Yala. A partir de una observación crítica, este estudio describe y analiza dicho campeonato, enfatizando la importancia de la oralidad para las culturas de los pueblos originarios, la cual es la protagonista en un contexto como el de los poetry slams. Anclado en referencias teóricas sobre literatura indígena, el estudio pretende resaltar la necesidad de una atenta escucha a las voces de esos sujetos históricamente silenciados y marginados que ponen de relieve saberes ancestrales en sus narrativas de lucha, emancipación y resistencia. Además, al divulgar este acontecimiento inédito, el artículo hace de su objetivo valorar y defender la legitimidad de la poesía que se produce y circula en los slams. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Wiñay Mallki and Hugo Jamioy Juagibioy's poetry allows us to understand some socio-political dimensions of the indigenous literature that is recognized as palabras mayores (ancestral words). The purpose of this article is to contribute to the knowledge of their works starting with a historical overview of the Colombian Southwest to shed a light on the common intentions as well as the encounters of these two poets, from the Yanakuna and Camëntsá people. The text has a bioethnographic approach to the two indigenous authors to establish the relationship of their works with the political and ancestral struggle waged by their indigenous communities. This paper showcases the decolonizing power of the poetries of the two creators from Cauca and Putumayo for the Colombian literary field. Finally, it is important to us to support the opinion of indigenous literatures as oralituras or major words of the native people. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The surrealistic project of redefining the self conceives poetry as a resource to liberate individuals from the moral and rational limits that constrain self-expression. This paper reflects on André Breton's surrealistic program and contends that even if he insistently pleads in favor of revaluating subjective experience, his final purpose transcends this initial goal and calls for a drastic social transformation. In this light, the paper studies the author's poetic explorations tending to liberate the self. Four topics structure this analysis: irrationality as a person's legitimate expression; the surrealistic adoption of an aesthetic of the emotion; its subsequent concretization through the mechanism of sublimation; and the convergence of all these in a poetic that opposes impositions that restrict the activity of the self.

This paper aims to approach from a hermeneutic perspective to Anahit (1968), a book of poems by the Spanish poet Juan Eduardo Cirlot. This book constitutes a free interpretation of the ancient Persian goddess Anahit to use each of her attributes in the poetic world of this poet. In the first part of this research, we reconstruct the combination of mythemes and symbols that are assembled around this goddess. In the second part, we carry out a hermeneutic analysis to show how these characteristics are gathered, modified, and reorganized in Cirlot's book. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This paper examines the adaptation of European literary models in colonial Hispanic America from the specific case of Francisco Álvarez de Velasco y Zorrilla, a poet of Nueva Granada, and his poem "Vuelve a su quinta Anfriso solo, y viudo", which belongs to eglogical and pastoral tradition. The analysis aims to glimpse the connections between European formal literary parameters and their inevitable transformation, given the gradual filtration of contextual elements from the American reality. Therefore leading to provide a vision of the colonial period as a crossroads of diverse cultural inheritances and traditions that seek to adapt to an American environment in constant transformation.
