La poesía política de Carlos Germán Belli

Commenting on the poetry of Carlos Germán Belli, a key writer in contemporary Spanish-American poetry, the present article focuses on analyzing a set of representations that allude both to the structure of society and to the production of a functional subject for that society. The article studies the representation of diverse mechanisms of social domination but, at the same time, it highlights the spaces of resistance. Finally, it observes how his poetry offers intense (and very tense) dynamics of power and liberation, control and utopia.
