Abstract




The present work offers a reading of a dialogue between the books The misery of the man, by the Chilean poet Gonzalo Rojas and The eroticism, by the French philosopher Georges Bataille. This reading poses the alteration of the traditional semantic charge assigned to death by giving it the sense of continuity of being through the violence that animates the erotic mechanism. Consequently, this semantic alteration allows The misery of man to be described as a work that contains a heterodox eschatological poetics with respect to Christian beliefs. However, the poetic logic of this work is ques- tioned when doubts raise about the violent nature that animates the erotic mechanism
