Abstract

The poetry of Nicomedes Santa Cruz is one of the most widely disseminated in the country. However, there are few publications on his work linked to the figurative and aesthetic universe. For this reason, the objective of this work is to investigate, from cultural rhetoric and discourse analysis, the marks of orality represented in the poems: “El café”, “¡Oiga usté, señor dotor!” and “Palmero sube a la palma”. From our perspective, the metaphorical representation that comes from orality has made it possible to configure two types of memory in poems: cultural and communicative. One, it fulfills a social storage function and; the other, performs the function of a memory of every day located in everyday life. Finally, we will observe how the linguistic imagination is configured based on multiple traces of it linked to the representation of language.
