A una flor nacida en una calavera: En torno al concepto de propagación contextual

This study deals with the way in which the literary motif of the flower born in a skull was transmitted. In particular, it is analyzed the textual formulation that emerged in baroque poetry and how it was projected later in several cultural contexts. In addition, this analysis tries to illustrate the concept of contextual propagation , which refers to a process of literary transmission that explains the survival and evolution of certain texts through new channels of expression involving a change in literary genre and even expressive medium.
