Baroque folds, corpses and dictatorship in Néstor Perlongher

Abstract

The work takes two poems by the Argentine Néstor Perlongher (1949-1992), to study the relationship between the neobaroque and the dictatorship: “Cadáveres” and “MME. S.”, published in the book Alambres (1987). Through the analysis of the poetic theory of the neo-baroque, the key elements of poetic composition in both texts are analyzed. Likewise, we appeal to Leibniz's conception of the monad, which is explained by Deleuze through the concepts of folding and unfolding.
