Summary
Rubén Darío's poetic identity was profoundly shaped by his experiences in the port cities of Tánger and Valparaíso, revealing a transcultural synthesis that redefines Modernist literature. These cities, symbolizing contrasting cultural and emotional landscapes—exoticism and melancholy in Tánger versus vitality and Indo-American promise in Valparaíso—were not merely described but woven into his poetry to create a cosmopolitan vision. This study demonstrates that Darío's dual experience in these ports was pivotal in forging a literary identity that transcends nationalist or exotizing interpretations, consolidating his legacy as a poet who unified disparate traditions. The research employs textual and critical analysis of selected works by Darío, uncovering how sensory, cultural, and emotional encounters were metabolized aesthetically to enrich his poetic palette.
