De la intertextualidad al compromiso: 'Personal & Político' de Aurora Luque

Abstract

This research article analyze with a qualitative methodology of Aurora Luque’s latest collection of poems, Personal & político (2015). The veiled reference in the title to the feminist motto «the personal is political» implies that the work will focus on how the individual is inevitably connected to the social and urban dimensions of power relationships. In the book, intertextuality conveys the concerns of a lyrical subject who lives in the weak postmodern society populated by corpses that have lost the contact with nature, their yearning for life, their desire for freedom and love, their ability to discern between the useful and the trivial or to choose between what deserves to be admired and consumerist fetishes. Faced with this dichotomy, the written word and the rebellion of some female characters are entrusted with the task of sowing the seed of change.
