¿Cómo decir la infancia desde el exilio? De Lejanías, de Rosalba Campra, y la ironía poética de la memoria

Abstract

This paper aims to study the poetics of exile by Rosalba Campra in her text De lejanias (2017). In particular, we want to carry out an analysis of the representation of by the author. In her verses, childhood and memory are not only human ones, but also those of places; they coincide with a shared or imagined past, which becomes present through the word that continues to create them.This main objective of this work involves a broader reflection on how it is possible to narrate exile from or from the narration that is produced in adulthood about it, and what role does the choice of said perspective have, as well as the constant recourse to irony in Campra's work.Thus, in the proposed analysis, Campra's lyrical text is placed within the broader framework of stories about the experience of child displacement that have been carried out in the last 10 years. In particular, the representation of present in the author's work is compared with the autobiographical study carried out by Marisa Gonzalez de Oleaga, Carolina Meloni Gonzalez and Carola Saiegh Dorin, Transterradas. El exilio infantil y juvenil como lugar de la memoria (2019).
