La subversión del lenguaje bíblico en Carmen Condehacia el sentido fundacional de una identidad

Résumé

Among the varied aesthetic tendencies of postwar poetry, the use of a language and a symbology whose origin is rooted in the Bible stands out. We will carefully consider the use of biblical matrix myths which, together with the dialogue with God, is the means used to express the critical conscience of the forties and the reconstruction of a national identity. In this process of identity is inserted the poetic production of Carmen Conde, whose work Mujer sin Edén shows the physical and psychological exile that women suffer for the marginalization of their sex. It should be pointed out that the use of mythical resource is specially qualified in the treatment of the same made by the women authors: they operate a reworking from the gender perspective to discover and alter the underlying hierarchical structure. In the same way, Carmen Conde exploits the linguistic possibilities of the biblical syntax, appropriating the genesian myth of Eve to twist and manipulate it. This subversion underlines mechanisms of legitimation of the poetic voice that leads to the deconstruction of the patriarchal model that has falsified female representation. This creates a specific literary space that seeks not only to be a bitter social document of women but an identity document of the same.
