The Feminine Retrieved from the Pre-Hispanic Imagination as a Source of Power and Transformation in El Himalaya o la moral de los pájaros by Miguel Ángel Bustos

In El Himalaya o la moral de los pájaros (1970), by Miguel Ángel Bustos, there is a form of indirect political activism.

En El Himalaya o la moral de los pájaros (1970), de Miguel Ángel Bustos, hay una forma de activismo político indirecto. Como intelectual de los 60-70, Bustos había visto con claridad una salida de la coyuntura social y política del país (Redondo 2018) y del planeta en la recuperación e integración del saber de las culturas americanas precolombinas, el cual, visto desde los siglos XX y XXI, es del todo ajeno al capitalismo. Esta área todavía ha sido escasamente estudiada desde la ecocrítica. El Himalaya… esquiva la articulación lógica occidental y plantea un viaje de iniciación, apartado del ego y sus logros materiales, exaltados por el sistema en que habitamos. En ese proceso resalta la progresiva construcción de un multifacético femenino, misterioso, temido y atractivo, incluso desde lo visual en los dibujos del mismo autor, por ejemplo, Coatlicue, la dama de la falda de serpientes. Muy sucintamente, lo ponemos en relación con obra del poeta cordobés Romilio Ribero. A lo largo de la obra se configura una suerte de personaje fuerza, colectivo y femenino, densamente mítico, que abre la ruta cuando ésta se cierra. Proponemos considerarla como vía de recuperación de lo perdido y como figuración del ánima junguiana.
