De oleajes, museos y ecologías: cuerpo, materialidad y objetos de la memoria en la poesía de Irma Torregrosa

Year: 2024

Type: article

Abstract: pp. 46-59 What material is the human made of, and what distinguishes it (or not) from the substance that runs through other sentient beings? What remains in objects as repositories of memory, as vessels that detonate affects when they are perceived or touched? These two questions guide my analysis of two collections of poems by Yucatecan writer Irma Torregrosa (Mérida, 1993), Piélago and Lugar de taxidermia, through three stylistic features: the use of inventories of seemingly trivial elements, the ekphrasis of photographs or other graphic materials, and the representation of corporeality as a container that preserves affects.
