Abstract

This article explores the presence of elements both “revolutionary” and “archaic” in Pablo Neruda’s

Canto general and the ambiguous relation of this major work of 20th-century Latin American poetry to

recent literary history. The discussion draws on Raymond Williams’s views of cultural history, Pierre

Bourdieu’s theories of how symbolic power is produced and distributed in the fi eld of cultural production,

and the notion of “spiritual titanism” as developed by philosophers (Nicholas Gier) and psychologists

(Eugene Monick).
