El acto de nombrarse Mistral en Poema de Chile

Abstract

The travelling spectrum of Poema de Chile refl ects on the adoption of the name Mistral. Thecauses of this choice go from coming back to a previous intimacy -the original scene of the country- to the rejection of the urban society. The name she gives herself is a conscious act and therefore , a modern one, which is used as a response to the damage she received when she was in a previous situation. As a result, the ghost calls for the places, the language and the goods that were stolen, and she demands to recover the bodies that were torn by the white and ethnocentric discourse.
