Abstract
This article proposes a reflection on the idea of intervention present in the literary production of recent decades in Mexico. Whether in an evident way, through the graphic marks in the body of the poems, or through an elaboration that seeks to dilate conventional discourses, the intervention here has to do with the strategies created to intercede, through language, in the imaginary of the reader and, therefore, in his or her discourses. Thinking of them as producers of “poetics of intervention”, the writings that we present here question the discourses of power, as well as the complex and different forms of authority. Resulting from diverse compositional processes, these writings make us reflect on the present time and the need for imagination for human survival. The dialogue with the mythical is one of the aspects of these processes, which is the subject of this first approach to the “poetics of intervention” in Mexico in the contemporary sphere.
