Toward a Transatlantic Vision: : The Creative and Intellectual Writing by the Poet, Aurora de Albornoz

Abstract

The Spanish poet Aurora de Albornoz contributes with her writing from the exile in Puerto Rico and from the returning to Spain in the sixties to the recent Transatlantic Studies. Her writing reveals cultural, political, and economic connections and disconnections between Spain, Latin America, the Caribbean, and United States. Her work generates an academic debate that dismantles spatial and national limit proposed by the hegemonic discourses to the exile writing. Her book published after her death Cronilíricas College (1991) displays a explicit way of Spain from the exile in Puerto Rico and a poetic and intellectual creation of the Hispanic Caribbean and Latin America from the Iberian peninsula, projecting the beginning of Transatlantic and interdisciplinary, or transdisciplinary Hispanic Studies.
