Abstract

PUPPO, María Lucía. BETWEEN PHOTOGRAPHIC LOOK AND GHOST IMAGE: THREE SELF-PORTRAITS BY AMANDA BERENGUER. perifrasis. rev.lit.teor.crit. [online]. 2018, vol.9, n.18, pp.65-79. ISSN 2145-8987.  https://doi.org/10.25025/perifrasis20189.18.04.

In Hispanic poetry, the self-portrait reached its peak during the Baroque and Modernismo. There is a feminine tradition of the genre, which includes such authors as Sor Juana and Delmira Agustini. In this article, I propose an interpretation of three poems by Amanda Berenguer (Montevideo, 1921-2010) in which the poet describes herself in different periods of her life: during her forties, her sixties and her eighties. The aim is to confront the various strategies of self-figuration in these texts taking into account the topics, isotopies, and procedures derived from the technologies of the image that they include.

Keywords : Latin American poetry; 20^th Century; visuality; self-portrait; women’s poetry.
