Mystical Symbolism and the Posthuman in the 20th and 21st Century Poetic Voice of Ana Rossetti
Robert Simon
This study, spanning c. 1980 to 2016, offers an alternative critical perspective of the poetic works of the acclaimed Spanish poet Ana Rossetti. At its core, it explores the presence of Posthumanism and the mystical in late 20th and early 21st Century Iberian poetics, and more specifically, how Rossetti's more recent poetry expresses the same tendency toward a transcultural and posthuman model that is simultaneously essentialist and deconstructive. The books examines modern Iberian mysticism as found in the works of such authors as Blanca Andreu, Clara Janes, and Joaquim Pessoa, Vergilio Alberto Vieira, among others. Such poetic works establish themselves within a unique framework of mystical illumination which itself incorporates elements of late postmodern deconstruction and, more recently, a criticism of the posthuman condition as analyzed in critical works on the subject.
