READING EDGAR ALLAN POE THROUGH RUBEN DARIO AND ROSAMEL DEL VALLE. FROM MODERNISM TO CHILEAN POST AVANT-GARDE

This article puts in tension the ambivalence between admiration and rejection towards Ruben Dario's poetry, which originates from the Avant-Garde movement, particularly with Vicente Huidobro's Creationist Manifest. We answer the question of whether some aesthetics are related to both Avant-Garde and modernists. With this surges the inquiry of whether it is possible to talk about the survival of certain images (The Surviving Image, Didi-Huberman), or moments where phantasmagoric images, that are present in poems an aesthetics, come back as gestures that precede and survive modernism. Thus, in this article we will show and give an account of these readings that both complement and counter each other, by focusing on Rosamel del Valle's writing and looking at the reading of Edgar Allan Poe's work as a link between these movements.
