The Presence of Dialogue in "La cita" by José Marí­a Eguren

Abstract

The literary work of José Marí­a Eguren (Lima, 1874-1942) in the 20th century allowed a modern renovation in the Peruvian poetry style. One of the literary features of this famous poet`s artistic production is the presence of dialogue, category that uses it strategically as a poetic resource and that brings it closer to the theatrical discourse parameters. Therefore, following the theoretical proposals of the General textual rhetoric (Stefano Arduini) and the dramatic text semiology (Bobes Naves), the present research aims to elucidate the management of the aforementioned aesthetic tool in a particular case, “La cita” belonging poem to Rondinelas.
