Abstract
The Chilean poet Alexis Figueroa’s Vírgenes del Sol Inn Cabaret (1986) recreates the complexity of relationships in the tele-vision culture, in Latin American authoritarian and neoliberal society. With the curtailing of public space in the streets, the television usurps its place and imposes its one and only coherence: profi t. This is why the city under the TV’s infl uence is depicted by Figueroa using a cabaret as metaphor. A location where we find two main actions: showing off and watching. In this way, the reflections of the poem revolve around marketing subjectivities and subsequently learning from acting or watching.
