Abstract
This article proposes a comparative study on Reducciones (2012), by Jaime Huenún (Chile) and Sanjut de tran (2011), by Luciano Cecchinel (Italy), two contemporary poetry works that present indigenous/local civilizations to a globalized readership in a similar way. It analyzes the mediations, at different levels of the work, which allow the reader to enter the represented cultural world through an approach that emphasizes perceptions and intercultural contact. The hypothesis is that, thanks to a diegetic figure who mediates and the cultural explanatory notes, these works posit the chore of the represented culture as an enigma (Agamben), that the reader can experience through thickness (Merleau-Ponty), mimesis (Gibbs) and with tact (Derrida/Nancy).
