“La memoria campo minado”Disrupciones lingüístico-temporales y devenir(es) queer en "Phantasmagoria" (2019) de Sara Torres

Zusammenfassung

This paper gives an analysis of the innovations and disruptions that writer Sara Torres’ Phantasmagoria project offers within the contemporary Hispanic poetic scene. On the one hand, through its written version, published by La Bella Varsovia in 2019. On the other, through its live presentations, consisting of an intermedial performance in collaboration with artists Marta Velasco Velasco and Ana Quiroga. The aim of this papers is to show how the theoretical bases used in this poetry collection become feasible through the proposed poetic exercise, offering new ways of conceiving other possible worlds in which to be and be together. To do so, I will analyse the concept of ‘phantasmagoria’, the inscription of this work in a Sapphic literary genealogy (in which Sappho herself and H.D. stand out), as well as the uses of both poetic language and the ortho-typographic elements used in the printed version of the book. Finally, I will pay attention to the performance. To this end, I will employ a comparative and interdisciplinary methodology, in which the analysis of the poems will be carried out from a theoretical apparatus like the one used in Phantasmagoria: new materialisms and queer studies on temporality, utopian memory and becoming(s).
