Abstract

BERDEJA ACEVEDO, Juan Manuel. Without tongue: Impossibility, inefable and silence in Declaración de las canciones oscuras (2019), by Luis Felipe Fabre. Lit. mex [online]. 2022, vol.33, n.2, pp.173-208.  Epub Aug 08, 2022. ISSN 2448-8216.  https://doi.org/10.19130/iifl.litmex.2022.33.2.7731x06.

This paper addresses how Luis Felipe Fabre, in his novelDeclaración de las canciones oscuras(Sexto Piso, 2019), represents Juan de Yepes Álvarez as a writer that was "suspicious of the language". In order to achieve this, both the documentation process and the in-depth analysis of the verses found inNoche oscura del alma —used by Fabre to write his fictional poetic prose passages—are revised.

Based on the analysis of several escenes, the final fragment of this paper concludes that mistrusting of language —something that Fabre reclaims and resignifies from De la Cruz—, is a symptom of how literature offers resistance to the lies and terror of our current contexts, even if Fabre is talking about historical events so far away in time and place.

Keywords : Misscomunication; literary language; archive; mistic; misstrust of language.
