He Postvanguardism Is a literary and poetic movement that occurred in Hispano-America in the mid-twentieth century succeeding postmodern and avant-garde movements.
Born in the 1940s, postvanguardism posed important theoretical considerations, rejecting many notions of classical poetry or pure poetry.
Octavio Paz, main representative of post-vigilance
Because of this rejection, post-vassalist poetry is recognized as an antipoesy.
The postvanguardist poetry is considered by many as an aesthetic advance compared to what the avant-garde poets have done. However, it maintains many aspects of avant-garde and postmodern poetry.
The postvanguardist poets elaborated their work in reference to the expressive systems and the conceptions of avant-garde poetry, without opposing to modernism as if it came to make the first avant-garde.
Characteristics of Postvanguardism
The main characteristics of the"antipoesia"in the postvanguardismo included several thematic and slopes.
Among others, postwarguardia affirmed the dissolution of the totality postulated by the rationalism and the fragmentation of the illuminated intelligibility.
Postwarguardism preserved the irrationalist and antihistoric subjectivism of the avant-garde movement.
In addition, the de-structuring of poetic language was manifested in surrealist and existentialist poetry.
The surrealist characteristics of many works of postvanguardism led to the creation of works in which the artist sought poetry in his inner world and no longer in the outside world.
In this way, the post-Vanguardist work of art existed in a close relationship with consciousness.
One of the greatest exponents of post- Octavio Paz , Argued that post-vanguardism expressed an anti-conformity that had not manifested itself in previous movements.
It was thus posited that postvanguardism should be a critical literature.
Relationship with avant-garde
As he Avant-garde Like post-vanguardism, see the presence of art in the modern world as dubious.
Postvanguardism rescued some aesthetic, poetic and ethical aspects of the avant-garde movement, such as the desacralization of poetic discourse and the figure of the poet, and the systematic assembly of scattered fragments and heterogeneous elements in the form of collages.
The postvanguardismo tried to recompose the state of the poetic work and to maintain the antiartístico sense of the vanguardismo.
Thus, the sense of derealization was retained slightly irrationalist, returning to a logical and rhyme.
Some critics of postvanguardism denounce that this succumbs to the ideological coercion of the consumer society and produces only for the market and in the medium term.
Even so, many of the great post-Guardian writers continue to be considered essential in Hispanic letters.
Top writers
The main figures representing Postvanguardism were the Cuban Jose Lezama Lima, the Chilean Nicanor Parra and Gonzalo Rojas.
However, the most recognized of all was the Mexican Octavio Paz.
Although not accepted by many authors, it is stated that many Avant-garde writers Belonged at the same time to the current of postvanguardia.
Among these authors are figures such as Cesar Vallejo with his surrealist poetry, Pablo Neruda with influences of social poetry and the metaphysical poetry of Jorge Luis Borges.
