Des cantigas de amigo médiévales aux Décimas de Violeta Parra : chants d’amour et de désamour au féminin ?

subject

description

The present study is centered on the Spanish-speaking world in a diachronic perspective, and aims to highlight recognizable recurring elements in compositions in which a poetic feminine voice expresses its feelings. Some poetic constraints are at work from the earliest compositions of female lyricism in Spain (cantigas de amigo) and one notices formal and thematic constants in more recent traditional songs (romancero and cancionero). Our analysis focuses then on the poetic work of Violeta Parra (Décimas and some canciones), who has made formal choices which are usually exclusively used by masculine authors. Such characteristic examples raise the question of the roles that feminine poetic voices endorse in order to exteriorize their inner identity.
