Abstract

ARIZ CASTILLO, Yenny. Animal is in la Wik'uña [the Wik'uña] by Cecilia Vicuña: Opposite and Complementary Figures. La Palabra [online]. 2013, n.23, pp.51-62. ISSN 0121-8530.

This work consists on an analysis of the Chilean poetry female writer Cecilia Vicuna's book La Wik'uña (1990), focused on the figures of poetized animals and its relation with Andean indian culture, especially with the duality principle Hanan/Hurin, which means "High" and "Low". The poetic images are studied from an anthropological point of view, looking for demonstrating the assimilation of Indian knowledge in the work of this Chilean female poet.

Keywords : Cecilia Vicuña; La Wik'uña; chilean poetry; animals; Hanan /Hurin.
