Nicanor Parra's work has been widely discussed due to his admittedly contradictory positions
regarding politics and the impact produced by the establishment of the neoliberal experiment in Chile.
The self-described antipoet, although he maintained a harsh criticism towards the respective
economic and political system, simultaneously explored the visual and communicative potentials of
the consumer society through its own manifestations; the advertising language and the commodity culture. A year after his death, the following monograph proposes to analyze the ambiguities present
in the Parrian visual poetry, as a commitment to hybridization in reaction to the binary conception of
culture and society. From this perspective, the subversion of these elements, would have participated
not only in the process of destabilization of the Latin American poetic canon, but also in the attempt
to reestablish dialogue between two sectors of a highly polarized society.
