Una poética de la memoria: la poesía de Rafael Juárez

In this essay, the intellectual and literary foundations of Rafael Juárez’s poetic discourse are studied in depth. Such assessment is specifically carried out taking as an example his poetry collection entitled Aulaga. From the theoretical framework provided by Paul Ricoeur in his works about the notions of memory and oblivion, we propose a new body of possibilities of readings where Juárez’s project articulates in relation to the literary context of its time and the author’s interests and concerns. Finally, we propose potential further lines of research that could enrich the critical field on Spanish Contemporary Poetry in general and our consideration of Juárez writings in particular.
