Este articulo analiza cinco poemas practicamente desconocidos, comprendidos en Flor de sonetos (1940) y publicados por el escritor espanol Enrique Lopez Alarcon (?1881?-1963) durante su breve exilio en la Republica Dominicana. Pese a su compromiso por el bando republicano en Espana, el autor rindio homenaje con estos sonetos a la figura del general Rafael L. Trujillo y logro con ello la aprobacion del regimen en su nuevo lugar de residencia. La naturaleza de estos versos laudatorios nos ayuda a comprender la politica de control que el dictador ejercio no solo entre los ciudadanos dominicanos, sino tambien entre los extranjeros que arribaron a las costas caribenas huyendo de las guerras en Europa. La presencia de estos visitantes antifascistas en un pais gobernado por una tirania similar a la de Francisco Franco, Adolf Hitler o Benito Mussolini fue posible gracias al discurso adulatorio que algunos profesaron y que les permitio recibir algun tipo de recompensa economica y moral. Abstract: This article analyzes five little-known poems included in Flor de sonetos (1940) which were published by Spanish writer Enrique Lopez Alarcon (1881?–1963) during his short exile in the Dominican Republic. Despite his commitment to the Republican cause in Spain, this author paid homage to the tyrant Rafael L. Trujillo in order to gain the regime's approval in his new place of residence. The nature of these laudatory verses allows us to understand the political control that the dictator established not only over the Dominican citizens but also over foreigners who arrived on the Caribbean coasts to escape from the wars in Europe. The presence of these anti-fascist visitors in a country governed by a tyranny similar to that of Franco, Hitler, or Mussolini, was possible due to the adulatory discourse professed by some of them, for which they received some economic and moral compensation. |
