Abstract

ROMERO FIGUEROA, Edgar. A Revolutionary Rhetoric: The Case of Central American Poetics. Trace (Méx. DF) [online]. 2020, n.77, pp.59-79.  Epub Apr 13, 2021. ISSN 2007-2392.

Through the work of four Central American poets: Ernesto Cardenal, Roberto Sosa, Otto René Castillo, and Roque Dalton, we describe the features of certain revolutionary poetry of the second half of the 20th century, from a rhetorical and discourse theory perspective. For this, we question the function of some specific rhetorical devices (figures like the metaphor or complex strategies, therefore difficult to classify, as the motif or topos) in revolutionary poetic projects.

Keywords : Central American poets; Central America; revolution; rhetoric; second half of 20th century.
