Resumen

LOPEZ-CARBALLO, Pablo. From the Personal to the Collective: "Homenaje al Lenguaje" by Eduardo Milán. Lit. lingüíst. [online]. 2020, n.41, pp.195-212. ISSN 0716-5811.  http://dx.doi.org/10.29344/0717621x.41.2251.

In order to understand the importance and relevance of Eduardo Milán's poetic work, this article proposes an approach to his entire oeuvre based on one of his most emblematic texts: "Homenaje al lenguaje" (Homage to language), the last poem in his book Razón de Amor y Acto de Fe (2001). This poem will help us explain both the procedures used and the issues addressed by the Uruguayan poet throughout his forty-five year writing career. The difficulties concerning representation will be the main motif used in order to analyze the complex relationship between the poem, the world, the social role of the writer, and the relationships surrounding levels of power and their consequences.

Palabras clave : Eduardo Milán; poetry; representation; Latin American poetry.
