Duende y orientalismo
Duende y orientalismo: Una aproximación cultural a la prosa y a la poética de Federico García Lorca in Cuadernos de ALDEEU, vol. 35 (pp. 237-262)
The concept of the duende (spirit of inspiration) in Federico García Lorca's work appears in both his prose, "Play and Theory of the Duende," and his poetry: Poema del Cante Jondo and Romancero gitano. Lorca's duende is much more than a unique spirit of artistic creation because it can be seen as an ideological construct of an Orientalist nature from which his Gypsy myth derives and which results in the creation of his peculiar concept of Spain and of what is Spanish.
