Orientalism in the poetry of Rubén Darío and other Latin American poets

Abstract

Jorge Román Lagunas, explores communicating vessels between the poetry of the East and its influences in Latin American poetry, in the context of the constant globalization of capitalism, the imposition and dissemination of a Eurocentric colonialist ideology, through the development of communications, but is facing the glimpses of an inclusive cosmopolitan identity consciousness in Hispanic-American modernist literature.

The author makes a criticism of those who lightly and fiercely dispel Ruben Darío's appetite for Oriental knowledge, as mere chinoiserie, to postulate to Dario and the Latin American modernist and postmodernist poets as curious researchers of universal culture.
