El vacío metafísico y la pulsión de la Arqueología en la poesía actual

Abstract

 During the past 50 years Spanish poets have frequently used motifs related to archaeological finds or sites in a way that differs notably from previous evocations of ruins. The authors examine the work of a wide selection of authors born after 1939 and detect that this use is normally associated with a laical and metaphysical approach to the meaning of life, grounded either in ancient philosophical thought or in rather more recent ones such as current thinking's lack of certainty on this subject.
