Abstract
This article examines a selection of poems from Federico García Lorca’s Poeta en Nueva York (1929), to consider the ideology that underpins it. Drawing on Fredric Jameson’s idea of the ‘political unconscious’, whereby every text can be read as a socially ‘symbolic act’, the author will argue that the poetic subject in Lorca’s New York poetry gives voice to a crisis of bourgeois selfhood, which is set against the backdrop of economic collapse and experimental aesthetic renewal that coalesced in the late 1920s.
