Abstract
-
Ernst Cassirer, in his Philosophy of Symbolic Forms asserts that the process in mythical thought formation consists of impression, introspection, perspective and expression. By means of these the creative spirit aims to solve the basic existencial conflict: wish vs. reality.;Miguel Hernandez's poetical work is an example of an attempt to solve this conflict symbolically by means of mitopoiesis. Hernandez filters through his emotions his painful impressions of life, to further elevate them to cosmic proportions by identifying them with parallel manifestations in the cosmo-natural world. Emotion, hence, generates his poetical mythical patterns.;The first chapter of this dissertation explores the mitopoiesis as a generative source of myths. The second examines the appearance of mythical patterns in Miguel Hernandez's first poems and his book Perito en lunas. This initial phase reveals thematical elements which will be significant in his poetry, such as the bull in love and the moon as related to women.;His love poetry as revealed mainly in El rayo que no cesa is the theme of the third chapter. The symbol of the bull will reach its prime development and new mythical elements will add to the previous ones to conform Hernandez's mythical world: the knife, the mud and the secular themes arat-amat and homo-humus.;In the poetry written during the Civil War period--Chapter IV--, represented mainly by the books Viento del pueblo and El hombre acecha, the development of mythical themes seems to arrest temporarily because the poetical expression is restricted to the rational wish of writing propaganda.;His initial poetical course is reassumed in his last poetry, written mainly in jail. Fear, loneliness and impotence will be expressed through mythical images, mainly by those representative of evasion or ascension. These strong desires reach their highest expression through images revealing a need of regression to the maternal womb.;Miguel Hernandez's poetry integrates in its creative process innumerable universal mythopoetic revelations. He, therefore, shares, in an atemporal and coincident way, the main feelings of human beings, across times and frontiers, before the fundamental deeds of existence.
