For Jason Wilson, Paz is a poet of visionary quest in the tradition of William Blake as well as the Surrealists, seeking to restore an Adamic Golden Age. Kosrof Chantikian, introducing Paz’s poetry, explores the high idealism of his enterprise, while Rachel Phillips analyzes the influence of Surrealism upon Paz throughout the 1950s. Phillips ChronologyMy introduction centers upon the two major prose works by Octavio Paz, The Labyrinth of Solitude and Sor Juana, Or, The Traps of Faith, in order to supplement the critical essays reprinted here, which concern themselves primarily with Paz’s poetry.
Ricardo Gullón deals with the extraordinary Sunstone, finding in the poem Paz’s personal revelation, after which Manuel Duran returns, toDiscover in Paz’s later poetry a dialectical resolution of contraries. Manuel Duran, in the first of his two essays reprinted here, was more pragmatic in his view of “Blanco,” finding in it the meeting of Mexico and India. The metaphor of silence in Paz’s poetry is investigated by Jaime Alazraki, who follows his poet’s idealism in believing that this figurative silence is the authentic voice of poetry. Frances Chiles, considering Paz’s treatment of poetic inspiration, shows how authentic, difficult, and rare his moments of revelation tend to be.
And yet I cannot see how Paz could have been clearer: In contrast to Guadalupe, who is the Virgin Mother, the Chingada is the violated Mother. Doubtless there are and will be rival attempts to define what might be called the genius of Mexico, and some Mexican feminists already denounce The Labyrinth of Solitude for implicitly taking the side of what it exposes and criticizes, the Mexican male myth that their women first betrayed them to, and with, the invading Spaniards. An eclectic and idiosyncratic international poet-critic, and certainly one of the principal Spanish-language poets of the twentieth-century, Paz paradoxically is most original in his exploration of the very vexed question of Mexican national identity. Primarily a poet-critic, nevertheless his most influential books are likely to be The Labyrinth of Solitude (1950), which is a quest for the Mexican identity, and Sor Juana, Or, The Traps of Faith (1988), a critical biography of the poet Juana Ramiréz, who became Sor Juana Inés De La Cruz (1651?-1695), the major literary figure of the City of Mexico in seventeenthcentury New Spain. He possessed, and retains, an unique eminence in Mexican literature up to this time. Phillips makes a high estimate of Paz’s value to younger Mexican poets as a critic of their work.Az received the Nobel prize for literature in 1990, one of the sounder choices.
Doña Marina becomes a figure representing the Indian women who were fascinated, violated or seduced by the Spaniards. It is true that she gave herself voluntarily to the conquistador, but he forgot her as soon as her usefulness was over. The symbol of this violation is Doña Malinche, the mistress of Cortés. If the Chingada is a representation of the violated Mother, it is appropriate to associate her with the Conquest, which was also a violation, not only in the historical sense but also in the very flesh of Indian women. And yet she is the cruel incarnation of the feminine condition. She loses her name she is no one she disappears into nothingness she is Nothingness.
There is nothing surprising about our cult of the young emperor—“the only hero at the summit of art,” an image of the sacrificed son—and there is also nothing surprising about the curse that weighs against La Malinche. Cuauhtémoc and Doña Marina are thus two antagonistic and complementary figures. She embodies the open, the chingado, to our closed, stoic, impassive Indians.
