EL POETA Y SU CRUZ Pérez Villalobos, Carlos enunciation; modernity; modernism; posthistory; statement arte; paisaje enunciación; enunciado; modernidad; Modernismo; poshistoria 2017 marks the 40th anniversary of the publishing of the work of Nicanor Parra Sermones y Prédicas del Cristo del Elqui (1977). The following essay analyses this work, consummation of high-modernism poetry, evoking, in chronicle style, the historic city in which it was generated and released: a city of Santiago halfway between the Virgin of the San Cristóbal hill and the Entel tower. Forty years of distance between that vanished urban landscapeand us. Meanwhile, between the already agonic “literate city” of that time, in the shade of the dictatorship, and the present shining city, “leader in connectivity”, the hegemony of exchange-value saturates every space of visibility and use-value (the private and singular history of bodies and objects) is retired forever from circulation. In 2014, on the occasion of celebrating the hundredth birthday of the poet, a huge wooden finger crucifix was installed in the main hall of the Biblioteca Nicanor Parra of the UDP. In the next analysis, this brand-new vestige of the Voy & Vuelvo montage that hangs to this day, functions as a symptom of the post-historic Santiago, whose most conspicuous monument is the gleaming Costanera Center tower while the Entel tower becomes its most important modern relic. En 2017 se cumplen cuarenta años del lanzamiento de la obra de Nicanor Parra Sermones y prédicas del Cristo del Elqui (1977). El presente ensayo analiza esa obra, consumación de altomodernismo poético, evocando, en registro de crónica, la ciudad histórica en la que se generó y fue estrenada, a saber: un Santiago a medio camino entre la Virgen del cerro y la Torre Entel. Cuarenta años de distancia median entre ese desaparecido paisaje urbano y nosotros. Entretanto, entre la ya agónica “ciudad letrada” de entonces, a la sombra de la dictadura, y la rutilante ciudad actual, “líder en conectividad”, la hegemonía del valor de cambio saturó todo espacio de visibilidad y retiró para siempre de circulación el valor de uso (la historia privada y singular de cuerpos y objetos). En 2014, con ocasión de celebrar el cumpleaños número cien del poeta, fue instalado un enorme crucifijo de madera finger en el hall de la Biblioteca Nicanor Parra de la UDP. Para el siguiente análisis, ese vestigio flamante del montaje Voy y Vuelvo —que cuelga hasta hoy— funciona como síntoma del Santiago poshistórico, cuyo monumento más conspicuo es la reluciente torre Costanera Center y la Torre Entel su más importante reliquia moderna.
