Abstract

Dada la consistencia geofísica del angosto territorio chileno extendido entre volcanes y placas tectónicas, la ocurrencia de catástrofes naturales ha sido diacrónica en su bicentenaria existencia como nación. Tanto la tradición oral como la escrita han consignado esta impronta telúrica como ingrediente ancestral de la identidad nacional. En la circunstancia vital del poeta Pablo Neruda (1904-1973) acontecieron cuatro terremotos cuyas semióticas réplicas resuenan en sus escritos. La voz del poeta advirtiendo este singular sino telúrico de esta finis terrae nos induce a evitar la mecánica amnesia colectiva y nos alerta para instituir en el imaginario social las necesarias actitudes de prevención frente a los desastres que inevitablemente nos deparará el futuro. Given the geo-physic consistency of the narrow Chilean territory, extended between volcanoes and tectonic plates, the occurrence of natural catastrophes has been diachronic in its bicentennial existence as a nation. The oral as well as the written traditions have expressed this seismic nature as an ancestral ingredient of national identity. In Neruda's vital circumstances (1904-1973) four earthquakes took place, whose semiotic aftershocks resound in his writing. Noticing the telluric fate in this finis terrae, the poet's voice invites us to avoid mechanical and collective forgetfulness, warning us to install in the social imagination preventive attitudes to face futures disasters.
