Una lectura en clave ecocrítica de la imagen poética en el Diario de Frida Kahlo

Abstract

Taking Frida Kahlo’s Diario as a point of departure, I examine in the present text different interpretative possibilities of her work from an ecocritical perspective. To do so, I attempt to demonstrate the presence of a comic mode in her work that not only plays a significant role in its implicit ecology, but in the conception of image and its relation to text. As a theoretical starting point, I turned to the concept of image in Octavio Paz’s poetics and Timothy Morton’s ecomimesis.
