The animal / human dichotomy in Villain Song (1978) by Blanca VarelaThe article analyzes the work of Blanca Varela, the most important Peruvian poet of all time. She highlights the dichotomy between animal and human in her collection of poems Canto villano. The paper is based, above all, on the proposal of Giorgio Agamben, who questions the opposition between animal and human to suggest that there is a continuity between both living beings. Likewise, the concept of anthropology machine is used for the analysis of Blanca Varela’s poetry.
