The work of Jean Cocteau (1889-1963), the poet, while extremely diverse, presents nonetheless a coherence and a unity of tone which transmit his artistic vision and at the same time reveal his creative process. / Three works in particular, Opium--Journal d'une desintoxication, La difficulte d'etre et le Journal d'un inconnu, permit us to retrace his poetic course. / Cocteau's art rests on the notion he has of poetry. With the help of the example set by Erik Satie, Raymond Radiguet and Pablo Picasso, he understood at an early age that poetry resided within him and that only by exploring himself and by following a set of morals--in this instance, morals signifies behaviour which conforms to the demands of poetry--would he attain a level of pure poetry. / All of this is evident as much in the ideas the poet conveys as in his style. The personality of the poet, his "ligne" to use Cocteau's words, becomes apparent the more the idea is accurate and the word chosen significant. As a result of this "ligne", of its presence in the work, the poet approaches immortality. / According to Cocteau, the work of a poet cannot flourish within human limits. The poet must transcend such limits to embody universal activity. It is for this reason that the poet must redefine religion and create for himself a personal mythology, that he must reconstruct the world starting from a play of spatial and temporal perspectives. His role thus proves essential to human survival. In effect, the poet fills the cosmic void in which man is evolving.

The thesis examines a select amount of poesie by the artist Jean Cocteau, and through interpretation, explores the architecture of his work. This process of interpretation poses two questions: What is the role of the architect today, compared with his role as understood throughout history? How does the production of architecture today reflect the mechanisms of capitalism with its division of knowledge and labour, compared with an architecture which is inclusive and reconciliatory? / A clear message emerges from Cocteau's Poesie as a response to the two aspects of Orpheus: the first is represented by the processes of individual creativity, and the second by the collective realization of a project, whether it be a work of theatre, the production of a film, or the design and realization of a building. / A work does not end in handing it over for someone else to finish.

Tesis para optar al grado de Magíster en Literatura / En la presente investigación se estudian diversas obras literarias producidas por el escritor francés Jean Cocteau (1889-1963) con el fin de dilucidar una determinada poética que se realiza plenamente en dos formas artísticas primordiales: el drama y el teatro. Para ello distingo una serie estadios creativos que van modelando el proceso escritural del autor y que dan cuenta de la densidad de su proyecto dentro de un contexto cultural específico. El desarrollo de la investigación se divide en tres capítulos que visibilizan este proceso y la construcción de una poética: el primero de ellos, dedicado a enmarcar las primeras producciones del autor, a establecer su relación con los movimientos de vanguardia y a sentar las bases de un proyecto artístico que concibe el texto dramático y su representación como partes fundamentales de su elaboración. En los capítulos segundo y tercero se postulan, respectivamente, dos líneas de abordaje: una de carácter filosófica-estética, en la que problematizo el concepto de verdad asociado a la realidad, y otra dramática-teatral, en la que sostengo que la poética de Cocteau se consolida en la naturaleza artística y reflexiva de la pieza Les Chevaliers de la Table ronde (1937). Finalmente, propongo que la pieza exhibe una reflexión artística y ontológica que descubre su complejidad a través de distintas estrategias reflexivas (niveles de ficción dentro de la obra, la autoconciencia y el juego de rol en el personaje, la autorreferencialidad y la teatralización), generando así múltiples perspectivas para mirar la realidad, tanto al interior del mundo representado como desde nuestra propia experiencia de lectores o espectadores. / Proyecto FONDECYT 11130269
