El largo pasillo y esas orquídeas. Sobre los poemas "El cadáver" y "El cadáver de la Nación" de Néstor Perlongher

Abstract

In this paper we analyse the poems “El cadáver” (Austria-Hungría, 1980) and “El cadáver de la Nación” (Hule, 1989) by Néstor Perlongher. The writing deals with the body-corpse of Eva Perón trying to confront the death and to lose the fear of her death. We start by treating the corpse as a rest that gathers death and encourage this poetry. With special attention, we study the space construction: the corridor, the sorroundings, the inside, the outside, the lines. That construction enlarges the perceptions and the ways of moving that appears in both poems.
