Actualization Processes of Raúl Zurita’s Canto a su amor desaparecido (1986)

Abstract

The present article gives account of the semiotic actualization processes in the reading of Canto a su amor desaparecido. The proposed reading path considers the statements of Raúl Zurita about his life experience during the government of Augusto Pinochet and the construction of his figure of author, in relation to the intermediary strategies of his poetry, the intertexts that he puts into operation and the world structures that stresses in order to build a poetic representation of the violence experienced in Chile and Latin America as a result of recent dictatorships.
