BAGUE QUILEZ, Luis. La importancia de llamarse Jaime: identidad privada y memoria colectiva en la poesía de Gil de Biedma. CELEHIS [online]. 2016, n.31. ISSN 2313-9463.

This article focuses on the links between Jaime Gil de Biedma's subjective frames and their reflections in a poetic discourse which combines both confessional and historical components. The process of writing a fictionalized autobiography leads the author to turn his everyday experience into the public memory of the Spanish postwar period both from a critic and compassionate perspective. Furthermore, his playing with identity generates a split subject in which different projections may be accommodated: a self rejecting the class to which it belongs, a self dissolved in the social community, a self in conflict with itself, a posthumous self, and a moral and even dramatic one showing the imposture of all literary representations. The validity of these projections is observed in Spanish contemporary poetry. For those authors emerged in democratic Spain, Gil de Biedma represents a tutelary figure and becomes an aesthetic model which invites to update his legacy, to satirize his recurrent themes and to renew his rhetorical devices.

Palabras clave : Jaime Gil de Biedma, poetic identity, split subject, collective memory.
