Raúl Tuñón: passages zone

Abstract

In this article I propose to think about the links between chronicle and poetry as a fundamental and lasting feature of Raúl Tuñón's writing. It was oriented very early to the active exploration of reversible and impure forms that transit between the poetic and the prosaic, art and life, Real and imaginary. From a corpus of the 1930s, made up of poems of those years and chronicles little known and unpublished outside the journalistic support, I observe his writing as an area of multiple passages. In it, two modalities famously contrasted by Mallarmé, poetry and reportage , converge and diverge, in dynamic tension.
