Leopoldo María Panero: An Irruption ante litteram of Medical Language in Poetry
Abstract
This article explores how the poetic work of Leopoldo María Panero witnesses a gradual incursion into poetry of language belonging to the sphere of madness and medicine ante litteram with respect to its definitive irruption in 21st-century poetry. In his poems, recovering the topic of the separation between soul and body, the author claims his lack of identification with the condition of madness that society attaches to him. In this trajectory, an implicit denunciation of the dichotomous sieve by which human beings are measured, i.e. madness or sanity, takes shape. The effects are visible not only in the system of psychiatry, which he witnesses first-hand, but also in society's way of interpreting the human being.
