description This article aims at examining the context or place of enunciation of the poem “España, aparta de mí este caliz”[“Spain, take this cup away from me”] (1939) by the Peruvian poet César Vallejo, as well as analyzing some of his poetic procedures, particularly the appropriation made by the author of the rhetoric of Christianity. The study explores this poet ́s identification with Spain, specifically with the Republican faction, during the Spanish Civil War (1936-1939); an experience from which the writing of this poem emerged. We also analyze the universality of this poem, whose meaning transcends the geographical frontiers of Spain, and the historical context of the conflict during which it was written, taking root in the will to harmonize Christianity and Marxism –movement to whichthe author was politically committed, both in Spain, and in his native Peru– through the ideal of redemption of the dispossessed. With this purpose, the present study describes the creative, subversive use made by Vallejo of expressions of biblical origin throughout this poem, such as the use of Catholic prayers that were and continue to be part of the cultural background of many of his readers

Se explora la identificación que Vallejo tuvo con España, específicamente con el bando republicano, durante la Guerra Civil (1936-1939), experiencia de la cual surgió la escritura de este poema. La universalidad de este escrito, cuyo sentidotrasciende las fronteras geográficas de España y el marco histórico del conflicto durante el cual fue hecho, radica en la voluntad de armonizar el cristianismo y el marxismo –corriente a la cual estuvo afiliado políticamente el autor, tanto en España como en su natal Perú– en el ideal de redención de los desposeídos.Con este propósito se describe el uso creativo y subversivo hecho por Vallejo de expresiones de origen bíblico a lo largo de su poema, así como de oraciones católicas que hacían y siguen haciendo parte del acervo de buena parte de su público lector.     Universidad Pedagógica y Tecnológica de Colombia 2016-06-18 info:eu-repo/semantics/article info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion application/pdf text/html https://revistas.uptc.edu.co/index.php/la_palabra/article/view/4792 10.19053/01218530.4792 La Palabra; No. 28 (2016): January-June; 127-139 La Palabra; Núm. 28 (2016): enero-junio; 127-139 La Palabra; n. 28 (2016): Janeiro-Junho; 127-139 2346-3864 0121-8530 spa https://revistas.uptc.edu.co/index.php/la_palabra/article/view/4792/4310 https://revistas.uptc.edu.co/index.php/la_palabra/article/view/4792/5367 Derechos de autor 2016 LA PALABRA
