Esta dissertação analisa seis poemas de duas das obras mais importantes do poeta Blas de Otero, Ángel fieramente humano (1949) e Redoble de conciencia (1950), com o objetivo de fornecer uma interpretação que busque unir três elementos fundamentais para o entendimento de sua poética: sua biografia, o contexto histórico do Pós-Guerra Civil Espanhola e os elementos existencialistas que se conformam em seus sonetos. O trabalho entrelaça, portanto, a conjuntura histórico-social dos anos de 1940, ou seja, o período imediato após o término da Guerra Civil e o estabelecimento da ditadura franquista, com os rumos pessoais do poeta basco Blas de Otero que gerará, em 1949 e 1950, as duas obras consideradas parte de sua fase existencialista. A partir dessas perspectivas, o debate proposto visa propiciar uma nova visão que possa unir o social com o existencial, o histórico com o poético, o individual com o universal, integrando assim as diferentes percepções da crítica da obra do poeta em uma interpretação orgânica para o que denominamos de poética da insuficiência de Blas de Otero. / This dissertation analyzes six poems of two of the most important works of the poet Blas de Otero, Ángel fieramente humano (1949) and Redoble de conciencia (1950), with the aim of providing an interpretation that seeks to unite three fundamental elements for the understanding of his poetics: his biography, the historical context of the Spanish Civil War and the existentialist elements that conform to his sonnets. The work thus interweaves the historical-social conjuncture of the 1940s, that is, the immediate period after the end of the Civil War and the establishment of the Franco dictatorship, with the personal directions of the Basque poet Blas de Otero, which will generate, in 1949 and 1950, the two works considered part of their existentialist phase. From these perspectives, the proposed debate aims to provide a new vision that can integrate the social with the existential, the historical with the poetic, the individual with the universal, integrating the different perceptions of the critique of the poet\'s work in an organic interpretation for what we call the poetics of Blas de Otero\'s insufficiency.

Intertextuality is a key aspect in the poetry of Blas de Otero (1916-1979), an engagement with other poets as well as with his readers. It is a powerful tool that he uses to create a polyphonic voice that challenges the discourse of power. One of the fundamental figures in this polyphony is the Peruvian poet César Vallejo (1892-1938), whose poetry deeply affected the work of Blas de Otero. Both Vallejo and Otero shared similar temperaments and ideologies, and believed that intellectuals had a responsibility towards society. By examining the way that Vallejo’s España aparta de mí este cáliz (1938) informs Otero’s Pido la paz y la palabra (1955), this dissertation reopens the question of the social role of art, focusing specifically on the so-called “poesía social” of Spain during the 1950’s. It also explores the role of the reader and the circulation, often clandestine, of Vallejo’s poetry during Francisco Franco’s dictatorship. Lastly, by focusing on Blas de Otero as a reader of Vallejo’s work, this dissertation shows that the specific characteristics found in Vallejo were fundamental in making him one of the most influential poets in Franco’s Spain. Aware of the uniqueness of Vallejo’s poetry, Otero transformed the Peruvian’s word and made it his own, shaping a compelling language that suggests new realities and defies oppression.
