La memoria como relato y representación de la escisión de la infancia frente al universo adulto: Un acercamiento a la poesía de Yolanda Pantin

according to michel foucault, memory must be necessarily understood as a "re-elabo-ration" as it reproduces something that is not there anymore. from this perspective, an approach to the texts casa o lobo and "los hornos" from the book épica del padre by yolanda pantin permits us to conceive remembrance as the articulation of images thanks to an attempt of reconstructing a narrative in which what is remembered depends necessarily on the perception of the present from which the poetic subject remembers. therefore, the poetic voice constructs the narrative of its identity from the conscious-ness that the origin is questioned from the moment the discontinuities that construct it are recognized. moreover, in this author’s verse, it becomes apparent that between the universes of childhood and adulthood, there is an insurmountable rupture revealing that the adult’s eyes can only reconstruct childhood under the consciousness of what we may never be again.
