A search in the idyllic here: on spatial construction in La muerte golpea en lunes

Abstract

This article analyzes the spatial construction in the collection of poems La muerte golpea en lunes by Maricarmen Velasco, focusing in a first step on the use of deictic markers and pragmatic elements to establish the enunciative location, for this we resort to the proposal of Catherine Kerbrath-Orecchionni in La enunciación. De la subjetividad en el lenguaje. Likewise, once subjectivity is established as a degree of spatial reconstruction, an exploration of the way in which such subjectivity presents space is carried out from a perspective that considers the perception of space through memory, but also, through the search or recognition as in situ representation of certain geography. Finally, and in terms of a semantic framework, we resort to the configuration of the idyllic space, proposed by Mikhail Bakhtin in Teoría y estética de la novela, in order to take the poem's proposal about the idyll in the contemporary to the space of criticism.
