Resumen

In the poem “XXVIII” of Trilce (1922), by César Vallejo, a cruel attitude develops because it is long to rebuild, through voice and memories, the extinct home due to the mother’s death. Thus, the maternal voice, the object of desire of the poetic announcer, is absent and impossible to recover despite the illusory projections of the stem in its daily existence. From this compulsive obsession, the lyrical self shows its cruel nature in search of family sounds with the objective of dodging the symbolic and being imaginary so as not to mean the real: the extinction of the word, the fenence of the home and the death of the mother. With the above, in this article the cruel, imaginary and perverse voice that implies the lyrical self, the mother and the paternal figures present in the text in question is analyzed, as well as its implications generated as the cruel father, the significant phallus, the voix acoustimatique, among other aspects. Likewise, a comparative analysis is carried out with the poem “LXI”, of the same book, in which the convergence and difference of the aforementioned topics is observed. To support what has been said, the concepts of the cruelty of Antonin Artaud explained in his book El teatro y su doble (1938) are used, in addition to various concepts of the psychoanalysis of Jacques Lacan and Mladen Dolar, the ideas of Roland Barthes and definitions of Slavoj Žižek. The analysis tool is hermeneutics.
