María Zambrano in Morelia. Generativity between philosophy and poetry

Abstract

In the 9 months that María Zambrano was exiled in 1939 in the city of Morelia (Michoacán, México), she wrote two of her fundamental works: Pensamiento y poesía en la vida española and Filosofía y poesía. This article focuses on them and seeks an explanation for this fertility that took place within the framework of the personal and academic difficulties experienced by the writer during this stage. At the same time, the paper attempts to apply the structure of generativity, which phenomenology describes as a relation of meaning between the familiar and the strange, to the exile and the poietic generativity of zambranian reason.
