Abstract

El proposito de este trabajo de tesis es demostrar la influencia de las vanguardias europeas en Altazor, la obra cumbre de Huidobro en la opinion de innumerables criticos. Tomamos cuatro de los mas importantes movimientos: futurismo, expresionismo, cubismo y dadaismo, y analizamos en detalle su influencia en Altazor. En un ultimo analisis intentamos demostrar que a pesar de esta presencia de influencias tan dispares el resultado no es una obra desarticulada, panfletaria y artificial, sino un poema perfectamente integrado y organico. Huidobro creia que el hombre americano estaba llamado a ser aquel "en el cual todos los desequilibrios de las viejas razas vengan a integrarse en un equilibrio nuevo, un hombre de una cultura que sea capaz de resolver las antinomias de las culturas mas contrapuestas" (Huidobro, "Brasil entre nosotros", La Nacion, Santiago, 15-XI-1941). En Altazor, Huidobro uso esa capacidad integradora para alcanzar un "equilibrio nuevo" resolviendo las antinomias de las esteticas mas contrapuestas.

The purpose of this thesis work is to demonstrate the influence of the European avant-garde on Altazor, Huidobro's masterpiece in the opinion of countless critics. We take four of the most important movements: Futurism, Expressionism, Cubism and Dadaism, and analyze in detail their influence on Altazor. In a final analysis we try to demonstrate that despite this presence of such disparate influences, the result is not a disjointed, pamphletary and artificial work, but a perfectly integrated and organic poem. Huidobro believed that the American man was called to be one "in which all the imbalances of the old races come to be integrated into a new balance, a man of a culture that is capable of resolving the antinomies of the most opposed cultures" (Huidobro , "Brazil among us", La Nacion, Santiago, 15-XI-1941). In Altazor, Huidobro used this integrative capacity to achieve a "new balance" by resolving the antinomies of the most opposing aesthetics.
