This article reviews certain crossed plots in the work of Juan Luis Martínez, particularly in La nueva novela, specifically related to 1) their modes of insertion into the field of Chilean poetry, especially considering the way they relate to the works of Vicente Huidobro and Nicanor Parra, that precede its work; 2) their strategies of simulation, parody, and shrouding of the figure and identity of the author, as well as their paradoxical connection to the legacy of Borges; 3) the convergences and divergences between Eastern and Western thought, or the assumption of the impossibility of the poem: the "pajarístico" trapped in the net of the ideogram.

The current article studies the20th century poetry in Chile by examining the relation between the food imageryand the rural communities, in particular those located in the central region of the country. These are represented as lost and vanished communities, which implies the gradual disappearance of customs, traditions and local identities. Additionally, in the poetic texts the urban food system is represented as an alienated and foreign space, linked to fragmented and marginalized identities. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Through the analysis of El baile de los niños, by Diego Ramírez Gajardo, and the activities of the poetry and editorial workshop he directs, this article analyzes the manifestations of "precariousness" in contemporary Chilean poetry and its relationship with globalization as a regime which generates subjectivities. In Ramírez's poetic practice, precariousness is posed in two strategic ways: vulnerability and liberating revolution, which show the situation of young subjects in globalized Chile and their search for spaces of resistance. Practices of the youths, such as dance and sexuality, are key in the textual and extratextual proposal of this poet. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
