'The violent in the new': pre- and post-Coup experimentations in the first poetic works of Cecilia Vicuña, Claudio Bertoni, Juan Luis Martínez and Raúl Zurita

ResumenLas primeras obras de Cecilia Vicuna, Claudio Bertoni, Juan Luis Martinez y Raul Zurita se adscriben a las nuevas corrientes vanguardistas de los anos 60 y 70 no solo por sus tematicas, sino tambien por sus caracteristicas intermediales. Sin embargo, a cincuenta anos del Golpe de Pinochet, todavia falta esclarecer en que sentido estas publicaciones se vieron afectadas por la sacudida militar. Este estudio pretende complejizar lo que entendemos por experimentacion poetica a principios de la decada de los 70 en Chile, y como esta experimentacion hace suyo y expande el sentido de lo 'violento en lo nuevo' que describe Theodor Adorno en su Teoria estetica (1970). The first works of Cecilia Vicuna, Claudio Bertoni, Juan Luis Martinez and Raul Zurita belong to the new avant-garde currents of the 1960s and 1970s not only because of their themes, but also for their intermedial characteristics. However, fifty years after Pinochet's Coup, the effect of the military shock upon their first publications is still to be determined. This study aims to add complexity to what we understand by poetic experimentation at the beginning of the 1970s in Chile, and how this experimentation endorses and expands the sense of the 'violence of the new' that Theodor Adorno describes in his Aesthetic Theory (1970).
