The relevance of the lifted problem is caused as the interest of a modern philological thought in a phenomenon of the writer emigrant, and attention in aspects of Dionysian attitudes of literary artists. In the article research search is directed to studying of A. Shiryaev's interpretation of the tango phenomenon as the semiosis of passion and the epistem of Argentine culture. The open process represents at this stage the knowledge of the poetic heritage of the modern emigrant poet A. Shiryaev and requires close attention. The subject of analysis was the process of a mythologization by poetic consciousness of the poet emigrant of history of tragic death of the legendary performer of a tango Carlos Gardel. A. Shiryaev is creates the author's version of the myth about an idol of Argentina. The novelty of the presented material is due to the lack of study of strategies for identifying the author's consciousness of A. Shiryaev as an emigrant poet in the framework of the mastery of mythology and epistles of Latin American culture. The methodology of the study was the establishment of the poet's author's myth about the search for self-identification. The purpose of article is to reveal as in poem by A. Shiryaev «The Creole Thrush Sings Better and Better Every Day …» under construction as paraphrases of the glorified and tragic biography of Carlos Gardel. Reading of author's connotations is presented to interpretations of an image of the female phantom – madam Ivonne. The emphasized sexuality of Madame Ivonne is supplemented by the transformation of erotic codes into gastronomic codes. This subtext level is something like the author's comment. In the Shiryaev poetic fantasy, the metaphor of cannibalism is realized almost literally as an opportunity to eat Madame Ivonne the "flesh" of the burned Gardel. This aspect highlights demonic connotations in heroin, emphasizing the theme of vampirism. The study made it possible to draw the following conclusions. Pronounced metaphorical potential of lyrics of A. Shiryaev is the evidence of proximity author's consciousness of the poet emigrant of elements mysteriological Dionysian a discourse. The poetic myth by A. Shiryaev is characterized by proximity to Dionysian type of attitude and the transgressive nature of author's consciousness of the poet emigrant.

Cubagua, published in Paris in 1931 by the Venezuelan historian and writer Enrique Bernardo Núñez (Caracas, 1895-1964), is still well-known in his native country decades later, and today it is considered a canonical text. A novel of multiple identities – historical, meta-historical, colonial, postcolonial and postmodern –, its author writes and rewrites the history of that small island of the Venezuelan Caribbean, a centre for pearl exploitation during colonial times. The analysis of this novel explores some aspects of its aesthetic and cultural singularity, such as the fluctuating discourse between Myth and History, among others, in order to demonstrate its vibrant currency as a foundational text of Latin American culture.

El motivo del fin del mundo –ya sea bajo la forma de milenarismo, apocalipticismo, escatologismo, mesianismo, progresismo o fin de la historia- ha sido una constante en el pensamiento y la literatura hispanoamericanos desde sus mismos inicios. El propósito de este trabajo es tratar de explicar las razones por las que dicho motivo ha sido tan importante, temática y estructuralmente hablando, en la cultura hispanoamericana. Para ello realizaré una breve historia del concepto de «fin del mundo», que entenderé tanto en un sentido físico y en un sentido temporal como en un sentido ontológico, tratando de mostrar la estrecha relación que la cultura americana ha mantenido, desde un principio, con dicho concepto.  The motive of the end of the world -in the form of millenarianism, apocalypticism, eschatologism, messianism, progressivism or end of history- has been a constant in Latin American thought and literature from the very beginning. The purpose of this paper is to explain the reasons why that plea has been so important, thematic and structurally speaking, in the Latin American culture. To do this I will make a brief history of the concept of "doomsday", which understand both in a physical sense and in a temporal sense and in an ontological sense, trying to show the close relationship that American culture has maintained from the outset, with this concept.
