Abstract
This essay seeks to explore the links between Literature and History
discourse; whithin this context, it seeks to raise from the poetic image reflected
in the texts: General Song from Pablo Neruda (1950) and Santiago de León de
Caracas from Ramón Palomares (1967), a multi-vision reading that turns out to
be an option to get closer to history in a different way than the presented in
educational programs. Starting from the idea that Literature is a revealing of
senses, it discovers the presence of the Other. In synthesis, it raises the
analysis of the texts previously proposed with the object of demonstrating the
alternative speech of History presented by these poets, where a dialogical
relationship between Literature and History is established. Finally, it is
intented that these reflections may be a contribution to the training process
of the students of the Venezuelan School.
Keywords: literature; history; poetry; speeches.

1. Introduction
Always the exploits of man, in his long or short
journey through life, are objects of interest for many minds; specialists
devote their work to the rigorous study of these facts. In this process of
reconstruction of relevant events or not of the human being, are involved a
number of aspects that mixed and worked from memory pour a great responsibility
on the history that is taught in educational institutions: this reason that
directly influences the cultural education of the student. The letters, the
words and the speeches acquire great importance and protection when enjoying
the credibility offered by the elites that agree to it.
Literature as a concept that designates a peculiar act
of human communication and could be defined as the art of writing, writing,
alphabet, grammar, set of literary works, which are artistic creations
expressed in words, even if they have not been written, spread mouth to mouth;
allows to express or orally transmit and express the living and autochthonous
culture, aspects that are also studied and made known by History in general and
that lie forged and inert in Univocal History, generally programmed in the
study plans that teachers have insisted in teaching or teaching. These facts of
man's past are sometimes interpreted by teachers considering that the
information they have is complete, totally correct; without evidencing that
these can be retained or be erroneous, fragmentary or practically
unintelligible after a great time interval that has caused great cultural or
linguistic changes. Therefore, the teacher must critically judge the
testimonies he or she handles and therefore require careful treatment.
As a cultural being, each individual has a great need
to evoke and scrutinize his past, and to know in a broader sense his History,
as that totality of human events that occurred in a specific temporal
geographical space; These can be known through whatever documentary sources the
historian certainly uses, thereby putting History and Literature in contact,
which is why they intersect in order to give an anecdotal and symbolic picture
of the individual and the collective. it operates in a time, in a time that
passes and manages to immortalize itself by its convincing and revealing
character.
In the education of the individual, both sides of the
coin can be seen: the raw or strong reality and the historical ornamented
school disguised as truths, far removed from the realistic context of the
events. The interpreter of each one of these visions is responsible for what
from a moment in the future will be brought to the public light and will
complement the life of individuals who fight for a dignified and reliable
education; in other words, it is the teacher who has in his hands the
propagation of the epidemic or the delivery of an antidote for the poison of
falsification, which has been spreading over the years, a situation that has
been shared and protected by the Venezuelan school.
In this sense, the reflections that are carried out
are intended to propose an alternative reading of history, which overcomes the
centralized univocity of the facts that are currently shown as a paradigm in
the Venezuelan School. For this reason, the fundamental purpose of this essay
is born from the partial disconnection, initially proposed between the proposed
concepts. In this case, poetry is presented as an area that encourages the
production of other discourses.
The aim is to analyze both manifestations of language
in order to establish the connection between them and take them as a strategy
for the cognitive and experiential foundation of the student as an individual.
This analysis includes two texts by two Latin American writers. The first is a
Chilean writer, Pablo Neruda with his book Canto General (1950a) and the second
Venezuelan, Ramón Palomares with his book Santiago de León de Caracas (1967),
who make reference to History through their revealing poetics.
2.
Language,
Reading and Writing
All experience enables
access to knowledge; for this reason in the formation of an individual, a
series of aspects or foundations, notable for their human and cognitive
development, participate; These are broad factors that are directly involved in
the evolutionary process of man as a transcendent being. In general, man's
experiences record his memory from language, reading and writing; aspects that
help in their intellectual and therefore cultural development. Motives that
awaken our concern, encouraging us to study these aspects, asking ourselves if
they truly elevate the consciousness of our students, constituting their
essence as a human being, especially targeting those involved in our school.
Valverde (2014a), considers regarding reading and
writing:
… One
can not lose sight of the fact that, through the fascinating world of reading,
one can know worlds, unimagined, perhaps unreal, little existent,
notwithstanding the representation of them in writing, their tearing, that
bloodshed of feelings, thoughts those vigils that release the fatigue, the
disgust, the unsettling that flow from within lead to reflect thinking and
interpreting the world. Hence, reading becomes the written elaboration of
different texts, framed in infinite contexts as a point of departure and
arrival at the same time. Unquestionably the world around us needs to be read,
to be reconstructed from the writing (p.73).
Reading plays
a very important role in the evolutionary process of man because it allows him
to "see beyond" what is within his sight, forming it at a cognitive
level, elevating his spirit, humanizing his senses. As a continuous act in the
process of formation, reading leads man to encounter multiple realities,
bringing him closer to enjoyment, touching his senses to expand them in any
situation. The act of reading implies a determining experience within the
learning process, it allows the individual to interact with their language,
making man a being that plays, creates or destroys with his imagination, having
contact with texts; significant physical contact that brings him closer to the
world, considering the text as a reading of it or simply separating it from his
reality to take it to other dimensions.
In this sense, Valverde (2014b) considers that:
… reading
becomes a range of alienations, as an echo of concerns, sensations endless
intimacies that in one way or another lead to the difficult task of writing,
like a dropper that little by little finally ends up being structured in
material for be read and consumed by society (pp. 73-74).
Word
and silence constitute reading as a sublime act that elevates the sense of
those who vivify it, accepting the voices of those who have real opportunities,
that is, those who are liberated from the sense of the imagination. Opening up
to the diversity of cultures that border the center of our attraction,
facilitating the displacement through them, everything will depend on our
interpretation. Reading is knowing the world, and the world is that great book
that opens before our eyes to be shown as a man or woman, as a subject or
object, as north or as south; everything is a possibility that opens or closes,
according to its interpreter. Thus, "reading is a way back and forth; from
the text to reality and from this to the text". Valverde (2014c, p.75).
Through reading, man acquires awareness of himself, of his human development,
of the context that surrounds him and of the components that sustain that
context; In this process of formation, man establishes a contact with language,
with words that create speeches, discourses that touch his sensitivity,
reflecting them sublime according to his intrinsic state.
The
language also registers the memory of each person, is an aspect that
contributes to their intellectual and cultural development as stated in
previous lines, language is "a social need for communication between individuals"
Valverde (2014d, p.75). Then, poetry records the memories of each individual,
is a form of language that allows man to travel and move to look at his own essence
either to complement or to question it, that is, an approach to himself and the
world in general It also implies a special way of discovering the enigma of
things and enjoying the magic and power of words; it is revealing of reason,
subversive in the hope of the sensible, Paz (1956a, p.13), "Poetry is
knowledge, salvation, power, abandonment. Operation capable of changing the
world, poetic activity is revolutionary by nature; spiritual exercise, it is a
method of inner liberation; poetry reveals this world, creates another".
Poetry
admits establishing a revolt of senses, in which the person manifests his
essence, revealing himself against reason, declaring his true identity,
transferring his thought to deep dimensions, thought that threatens the canons
of society: breaking the laws or norms established by the same, stimulating the
changes and the creativity of the individual, which most of the times has been
restricted, especially in the school where the child wishes to express his
inner world, but this has been limited by the pedagogy and curricular programs
educational.
3. History
and Poetry, a long and complex relationship.
The
history that is taught in schools (also Literature), is governed by rules that
tend to make the teaching of this one limiting for the education of the
student, as Acevedo, Arista, Carretero, Lima, Miralles, Prats and Santacana
(2011: 18), "history as a school subject, should not be conceived as a
body of finished knowledge, but as an approach to knowledge in construction".
The school history only reveals to the student a part of the events that
occurred in the past, while poetry, given the nature of its discourse, can
access the past in a freer way, an issue that allows us to think that its
relationship with the The past can be a much more attractive and aesthetically
significant experience in the school context.
History, as a scientific discipline, seeks
to control the subjective conditions of the writer; While Literature betrays
the intentions of being without hesitation, thus producing a rupture between
the poetic conception and the historical conception, an approach that Siwka
(1982a) makes, the author establishes the almost hostile separation of the
respective fields of the writer and the historian, produced by the establishment
or consolidation of history as a science, to be transformed, interpreted and
inserted into society (school) as a theoretical discourse that seeks to benefit
from other sciences.
Relating the literary discourse with the
historical discourse, the production of a discourse that speaks from several
perspectives, that covers the needs and expectations of the subject in
formation, and that in turn highlights the events that took place in a
geographical-temporal space that determines the human being in the constitution
of his culture, Siwka (1982b):
Undoubtedly Literature
and History, are more impressive, more striking, more read and their social and
political effects are of greater relevance when they evoke the social episodes
of the people and when they expose to the light, the eternal human (p.23).
There
is a dialogic relationship that aims to be established between the universe of
Literature and the universe of History (through their speeches), these have
been far below the eyes of scholars, since, both one and the other has tried to
cover Trivially and separately. Literary discourse has been studied, like that
art that embellishes and gives color to certain facts, but we have not realized
that the culture that makes up man has to do with the word and with time, as
Hernández says (1998), the word (poetry) and time (History) entrench the
individual in a representative environment. So, it is not new for us that the
very essence of man is in his experiences, his exploits, in what he names and
in what he imagines.
However, in
the evolution of these discourses a rupture is generated by pretending,
generally the schooled history, to study man only in his social context;
considering society as an organic body submitted by laws, processes, changes
and explanations. This divorce between the literary and the historical occurs
from the differences that have been raised previously between both discourses.
History can not be established as an opposition to Literature, since the
historian necessarily goes to Literature, as a support to his considerations.
Art is
conceived as the immediate expression of feeling and, therefore, of the
concrete individuality of the artist. The feeling defines individuals, while
reason is common to all men; That is why Literature and Reason are
representatives of Poetry and History. Literature is the knowledge of the world
through its languages, alters and expands the dominating reason of science and
puts man, over his realities, at the forefront of the different enriching
logics of meaning. While the school history builds a monovalent discourse from
the fact and the document. Literature amplifies its coverage in the world of
the senses. This indicates how pedagogy and didactics should be different for
the teaching of both knowledge and can not be oriented in the same way.
It is
considered that from the writing, the two ways that man has to approach his
historical past are literary discourse and historical discourse; both of a
narrative nature, only that one: the historical discourse, recounts the facts
in a historiographical sense, that is, analyzes and interprets the historical
documents and sources to elaborate the historical narrative, and the other, the
literary discourse, reconstructs and restates that historiographical discourse,
formulating alternative meanings to assume History. In this sense, it is
necessary to emphasize not only the aspects that differentiate literary
discourse from historical discourse, but also seeks to link Literature and
History, through the possible identity relations that characterize these two
narrative forms.
It is
inferred from these statements that this correspondence between the discourses
in question, are established in the act of narrating; Temporality and narration
in Literature and History establish a relationship of agreement, of
correlation; since time is the order of the subsistence or coexistence of
individuals over a given period (if chronological time is involved);
temporality is founded as a style, as an ideal of life that accesses precisely
language through narrativity, (also found in History), which has as its
ultimate referent such temporality and unfolds in a chronological dimension and
in a human dimension (Literature ) also or especially in History.
4.
The Poetic Image as a Reading Source of History.
The
poet rewrites the cosmos from his inspiration, reproduces or plays with it from
his poetic creations, where the word, the language, the writing itself and
history, intersect as visions of a human purpose in society; In this sense,
this section seeks to capture the pilgrimage that the poets in question make
for History from the Poetic Image, in such a way that they allow to affirm that
the Poetic Image can be established as a reading source of History; Of course
from a pedagogical perspective. The texts of Neruda and Palomares present an
incarnation of voices, of historical subjects materialized by the document and
interpreted in another way by the Poetic Image or in this particular case,
silenced voices that dialogue in a repeated and antagonistic way with their
oppressors.
The authors of Canto General and Santiago de León de
Caracas respond in a reflective and distinct way to a conflict of their time,
stoking the fire of their words and putting their texts of evidence to elicit
dialogical encounters of historical subjects, dialogues that, although
antagonistic, allow the multiple view of events that reverse the cultural
heritage of our peoples. In this interlocution of clamor, an apology flourishes
that puts in evidence those speeches, allegations that in the name of power have
profaned historical subjects.
In attention to the aspects already mentioned, begins
the dissertation on the works of these poets starting from Pablo Neruda, in his
General Song, unleashes his anger mixed with pain and impotence to capture with
his most accurate words, the injustices committed by the conquerors of America
and very specifically for their beloved Chile. The Poetic Image conscientiously
worked by Neruda, shows us different ways of seeing History, achieving with it
the recreation of a hidden past that deserves to be discovered. It should be
noted that the poet in general writes about things he sees, but in this
particular case, Neruda is the victim of many abuses, being the oldest of them
the exile of his native homeland.
The History of America is interpreted by Neruda with
seriousness and rebellion, being one of the biggest opponents of the tricks
that power usually makes. The memory of the people is transferred by the poet
to a broader and deeper context, the immovable distorts its terrain leaving to
light what was not talked about, because it was not convenient. Faced with the
popular impulse, resistance and coalitions of forces using all means rise up:
brutal repression, the ominous and anti-national dictatorship with its
courtship of denial of freedoms and rights, even the most elementary ones, to
prevent transformations that alter the systems of dominant domination, leading
to more evolved structures, to more humane and dignified forms of coexistence,
and to the true independence of Latin American countries.
Realities of such magnitude, which undermine the great
American homeland, which asphyxiated man by narrowing their horizons and
seriously mutilating their own humanity, necessarily had to impact - and in
many ways - a consciousness as lucid and always awake as Neruda's. Hence, they
are evoked again and again in Canto General, until the central thread of its
texture is created, Neruda (1950b, p.336): "My people, all of my American
homeland, hurt me in everything they have eaten. your bones, leaving you bound
by the foam, like miserable goddess torn apart. "It hurt his integral and
unreserved humanism, a state of alienating and deteriorating things of the
peoples that made up his beloved American homeland. He deeply wore his
limitless Americanist spirit, the devouring presence of imperialism, Neruda
(1950c, 199): "The dollar arrived with aggressive teeth, biting territory,
in the pastoral throat of America".
With
Canto General, Neruda performs an act of definitive and definitive self-assessment.
He is situated in a perspective that opens new paths to his work. Now part of
man - but not of the abstract and individual man, but of the concrete and
acting social being - and of the earth - the American land that is a source of
beauty, but also dialectically linked to man - with what follows, enriching it
and giving it a real historical-social content, the line inaugurated by the old
masters of Renaissance humanism.
Neruda can then trace in General Canto the march or
the continuous development of the History of America from the distant
pre-Columbian times until the mid-twentieth century. Penetrates into the
recondite indigenous world, ascends to Macchu Picchu. Neruda (1950d, p.29)
says: "I put my forehead between the deep waves, I descended like a drop
between the sulfuric peace and, as a blind man, I returned to the jasmine of
the spent human spring".
From there, the poet follows the advance of History.
It stops in the feverish and violent conquest period of destruction of the
autochthonous and of fierce debaucheries, in which: "the earth was cut by
invading knives" Neruda (1950e, p.64), the foundations of his exploitation
regime were established. It is evident that Neruda's relationship with history
is not in the end, but the result of the poet's vital relationship with the
environment in which his own existence unfolds. He knows himself rooted in the
peoples of America who have a history that surrounds them, of which he
participates and which confers an essential identity that determines the true
and profound meaning of his life and his creative word.
What has been exposed so far, roughly, was appreciated
in Neruda and we will also appreciate it with Palomares, this Venezuelan poet
where poetry is configured in a very personal synthesis of a certain
surrealism, mixed with fluency and colloquial vocabulary, addressing,
sometimes, historical themes and heroic narratives; Dovecotes in this work
establishes; a dialogue with its historical context and it can not be
otherwise, History is the place of incarnation of the poetic word, because
without a common word there is no poem and no poetic word there is no society;
this poet with Santiago de León de Caracas, innovates History, Maggi (1982a),
not only to transform it, but to transform another image of it.
In Santiago de León, a historical event is narrated,
it may be that you do not understand that history is being written in a broad
sense. The vision of the historical in the reader is invaded by the playful
condition in front of the images and voices that participate in the poetic
substantiation. Poetry is going to place History and its possible discourses in
that dimension of language where the word functions as a metalanguage of
History. Poetry returns looking for roots, making and undoing History to foment
it from the faculty of the imaginary, History thus becomes a discursive object
of another discourse, that of poetry: passed to the mirror of poetic writing,
"the world" which is demonstrated in incomparable ways, begins to
live independently and to be outlined as a reality of meaning, an alternate
History capable of producing those senses.
Ramón Palomares, has ventured into a field very little
addressed by contemporary Venezuelan poets: that of National History (like
Neruda with Chile and its General Song). With Santiago León de Caracas, stops
at relevant moments in the history of Venezuela, but we could say that, with a
completely new attitude, does not incur the patriotic (historical) exaltation,
often blind and exaggerated epics or Conventional historical poetry Maggi
(1982b), but on the contrary, his poems constitute an approach, simple and
fundamental to History and its characters, stripping it of all artificial
solemnity and bringing them closer to the reader. (The antecedents of this type
of poetry should be sought in folklore: romances and historical songs, in which
the people dealt with characters and episodes of history, with admiration,
familiarity and humor).
In
Santiago de León de Carcas the time in which they fixed their banners and
raised their swords those that came from the sea is related. The plot of the
work is the foundation of Caracas and the events close to it, but rather than
narrating the historical fact, what is intended is to make feel the spirit of
the conquerors and the conquered, who they were and how they expressed these
men , your fears, your ambitions, your courage. It is about the violence and
the cruelty of the conquering enterprise with everything that was fabulous and
unusual in it. The book is divided into five parts and includes forty-one
poems, in them we see Diego de Losada, Pedro Reynoso, Francisco Fajardo, and
other conquerors, also Guicaipuro, Tiuna, Paramaconi and other indigenous
chiefs. The voices of one and the other are interspersed in the poems. The conquistadors
narrate episodes in which they have taken part, and in these narrations the
Spanish's astonishment at the new world can be seen, as is seen in the
chronicles of the Indies. Palomares (1967a):
What beauty the earth
when that mountain climbs a white body in its airs and its height is estimated.
And the blue looks clean and is a sharp edge is only distant is beautiful. Just
a line of dawn and already the knights recognized the whole place: What
tempered airs! What hills! (p.125).
There
is also the vision of the native, the astonishment of the first inhabitant of
those lands before the arrival of the invader, and the hatred and the terrible
fury before his cruelty. In Flecheros they, and runners and jumpers us, the
caciques of the center remember for the war. Palomares (1967b):
Rotted the earth with
those fierce and terrible of the sea. They reduced the men by turning them into
a grass. There is no road that does not happen! The day came to put the
children and the women in the fog. All men will descend by one and on the other
hand, by the heights and the earth between the rivers on stone and foam, as
points of rain and stones, as hair of woman and mountain and more than ants
will come down. Ask your gods, invader Clean your weapons very well! (pp. 137-138).
So the History of the foundation of Caracas is not
unilateral, it is about understanding the phenomenon of conquest in a deeper
and more global way, from poetry, from poetic polyvalence. It is evident the
plundering, the extermination of the Indians by the cruel conqueror, who, in
turn, feels love for the founded city, for the new conquered lands. Dovecotes
(1967c):
Maybe you are not the
most beautiful of the Indies, nor your treasure reaches a sixth of Mexico. But
what motive other than death could get us out of these streets Ah, houses
without a hint of luxury or donations of mansions or pretensions of viceroys! Santiago, Santiago de
León, our likeness! (p.144).
In the first three
parts of the poetry book, namely: Borburata de los Fantasmas, Flecheros them
and runners and jumpers, we and El caballero Juan Rodríguez Suárez, we will
find an important element to highlight; in all of them the intertitles of the
poems are going to frame a concrete situation as a possible "historical
narrative". Then, we can consider that the Poetic Image causes the
historical referent to explode in multiple senses. From the allusion to a
History, to a past, to its texts, to an epic phonologically and ideologically
forged from the vision of colonialism, its limits are broken. The word embodies
History to make it again, outside the canon established by the conquerors of
always, those that exclude the discourse of the other, the one that resists the
already not very strange invader today.
This opens the dialogue between poetry and history, as
Paz says, in The Arc and the Lyre: "History is the place of incarnation of
the poetic word" (1956b, pa.143). Thus the poem is the revelation of the
voices of man for poetic communication, for its concretion as "epos"
transformed into Image. Thus the poetry, the poet and the reader in poetry take
possession of the "epos" of the dominant History and this is linked
to the field of other unusual, torn and human visions as acts of revelations of
the metaphor and, the poetic word is invoked to that secret association between
man and the other, his condition of existence related, through multiple
languages, with the images that he builds from that. We must not forget that
Ramón Palomares (Poet Trujillano), like Pablo Neruda, is involved and perhaps absorbed
by the historical context of his time. As Neruda sang reflectively and
subversively to the system of his country, so does Palomares, his poetry is
intimately linked to a life experience.
Like Neruda with Chile, Palomares experiences
experiences that substantiate his personality and his rebellion against the
Venezuelan social system of the moment. In Santiago de León, the verses of this
poet contain something like the profession of their faith, they are the
expression of his vision of History.
5. Literature
and History in Educational Institutions.
The educational institutions are identified by their
social historical character and by their complexity, although in most of the
occasions it is shown as natural and simple; apparently the students resort to
them in search of a "formation" that allows them to adapt to the
social system that surrounds them. But, the school fulfills functions that go
beyond the simple process of social adaptation, since, its reality implies a
series of responsibilities that aim to take care of: keeping the children, the
adolescents as they go increasing the compulsory schooling, to the implantation
of dominant values, and disciplinary vigilance for subordination and the world
of work, in other words, an arduous training for the labor field.
With respect to the above, it can be said that part of
the effects of educational praxis is closely related to the constitution of the
subject, which concerns the establishment of judgments that allow the student
to believe and judge himself, about the others. With this orientation, the
school and its pedagogical mechanisms will be the ones that will build and
mediate those relations of experiences with themselves and with their
otherness. Within this process of educational experience and training
Literature and History play a leading role, as both addresses record in
different ways, the empirical repertoire of the human being; and is that
History is not a museum of dead objects, much less can be seen as an antique
shop.
The Literature is an alternative to know the History
of pure way, without the intervention of the political phenomena that govern
the formal aspects of the story told from the orientation of the dominant
values taught institutionally. The poetic vision is a holistic vision of
History that escapes the controls of the established by parameters emanating
from those dominant ideological factors of a given society; since medieval
times we can see the use of literature as an alternative reference that in many
cases contradicts what is established by placing the reader in the realities of
life, showing the reader the hidden faces of history, such as the Cervantes
Literary Carnival, Don Quixote de la Mancha and Lazarillo de Tormes, among many
other works of the literary picaresque that undressed the realities hidden by
the dominant factors of the time.
It is important to emphasize that the history
approached from the different educational programs is not opposed to the
literary discourse, but is limited by the dominant factors, and in turn the
literary discourse reveals the hidden side of History that is not seen in the
educational process, without to enter into contradiction with it, both
discourses being necessary aspects of knowledge.
Finally, History and
Literature have an undoubted connection, demonstrated with the analysis of the
Canto General and Santiago de León texts of Caracas, where these writers,
starting from the Poetic Image, establish, on the one hand, an effective
dialogue between these discourses, and on the other, they manage to show us a
new interpretation of History, thus offering that alternative reading so
necessary in the plans of the school system. The historical discourse managed
by these poets does not respond to the "anti-history", on the
contrary, they present an additional view of the many that History can have,
since it advances in waves, and these waves, and these waves they advance until
they reach their maximum volume and then they retreat to advance afterwards
even more.
In attention to the previously mentioned aspects, it
is worth asking:
If Literature and History converge with each other,
why not make use of Literature to facilitate historical knowledge?
How to make Literature become an effective tool for the
student to identify with History?
Could it be said that Literature renews History?
Why, if History and Literature feed on each other,
complementing each other in their constitution with their own elements, has the
formative-enriching value they contribute to the student's development been
reduced?
