Rate My Professor Alicia Latorre

Alicia López Latorre is a literary scholar and poet whose research focuses on theory of literature and philosophy. She has contributed to the academic discourse through publications exploring antimodern symbolic thought and the intersection of literary and military dimensions in modern authors. In 2024, she published 'La relación simbólica antimoderna entre las armas y las letras en Juan Eduardo Cirlot' in the Revista de Filología de la Universidad de La Laguna. This article analyzes how symbolic and antimodern thinking structures the relationships between literary and military aspects in Cirlot's work. The central hypothesis asserts that his conception of authentic poetry and the metaphysical value of war are analogous, co-implicating in spiritual sublimation, making the poet equivalent to the warrior. The study examines texts on his poetics, veneration for military ancestors, and swords, updating the tradition of arms and letters.

Her research interests include the influence of medieval thought in contemporary imaginaries, as seen in works like 'La influencia del pensamiento medieval en el imaginario de Juan Eduardo Cirlot' and 'San Guillermo de Gellone, caballero y monje'. López Latorre has also published poetry, including 'Naúfragos del aire' and 'La segunda puerta' with SONÁMBULOS ediciones. Affiliated with the Universidad de Granada, where she is pursuing a PhD, she has connections to Jaén and Granada academic circles. Her work appears in journals such as Thematá and Revista Digital de Iconografía Medieval.
