Abstract

ORTUZAR VERGARA, Macarena. Estéticas del residuo en el Chile del postgolpe: Walter Benjamin y la escena de avanzada. Acta poét [online]. 2007, vol.28, n.1-2, pp.111-127. ISSN 2448-735X.

The following study suggests that the concept "poverty of experience" proposed by Walter Benjamin (1933) explains the abrupt aesthetic change that took place in Chile, at the beginning of the dictatorship, with the so called escena de avanzada. Facing an incommunicably experience, the nueva escena resorts to fragment the language, and stops in the remains of a history, whose transition had been also fragmented. Rather than transforming a fractured experience in a totality, the escena de avanzada pretended to talk about herself by generating new languages that put emphasis on the experience remains and in all that had been expelled of the continuum of the history, as Benjamin's chronicler does.
