Abstract

In this article we study, by means of a methodology of
interpretive and differential semantics, two baroque poems that
“paint” the figure of an Andean drunk attributed to the great
Peruvian colonial poet Juan del Valle y Caviedes (1645-1698).
In this work we especially observe the semantic mechanism of
“mise en abyme” and metastability of baroque rhetorical figures
in poetry compared with the same mechanisms used in
painting and graphic arts (Rubin, Necker, Jastrow, Archimoldo,
etc.).
