<<Walking Around>> (1935)
Autor: Pablo Neruda (1904-1973)
Temas: la dualidad del ser; el tiempo y el espacio
(1) Group discussion will follow after studying Neruda’s poem and Mexican
artist David Alfaro Siqueiro’s 1937 painting 'Eco de un grito.' Students will write
an essay on the chaos and pessimism depicted within both works. They will also
listen to two musical versions of Neruda’s poem: Miguel Bosé in Neruda en el
Corazón and Miserables in Marinero en Tierra: Tributo a Neruda followed by a
short presentation on how Neruda’s “Tiempo y espacio” has been interpreted.
(2) Students compare Neruda’s “Walking around” and Lorca’s “Vuelta de paseo”
from Poeta en Nueva York. Working in small groups, they make a list of the
concepts presented and analyze the language used by the poets to convey
those concepts. At home, they write an essay based on their group work.
