Nicanor Parra, el taoísmo y el modernismo

In "Nicanor Parra, Taoism, and Modernism", I intend to analyse how, from the times of the modernist school itself and until the second avant-gardes, certain poets devoted themselves to satirizing with specifically modernist views and themes. The beauty of women, eroticism as salvation, the sacralization of art, the desire for style or symbolism or verbal alchemy were concepts or techniques that were gradually dismantled by a succession of poets starting with José Asunción Silva, passing through Leopoldo Lugones and Vicente Huidobro, and reaching its maximum expression with the antipoetry of Nicanor Parra. The misogynistic tone, a debased vision of love, the alienation of the self as elements that parody identity in many of Parra's poems should all be interpreted as a break with modernist concepts and themes.
