Abstract

In order to approach Alejandra Pizarnik's poetic corpus, from new perspectives that contribute to its better reading and interpretation, it is necessary to review certain relationships that are established between some variables of her work. In this article we propose a tripartite framework established by the body, psychoanalysis and symbology with the aim of establishing a line of approach to Alejandra Pizarnik's poetry, while we consider that this author embodies, throughout her work, a set of symbols that articulate his poetry and that characterize it particularly; symbols that keep a close correspondence between the female body and between some aspects addressed by psychoanalysis.
