This doctoral thesis hermeneutically analyzes the macro-poetry book Infinite Memory of
America (The Discovery, Amerindia, Sepharad and al-Andalus, 1492 / 1991), of Costa Rican

symbolic, mythic, religious and cultural dialogue are established. For this purpose,
archetypes, symbols and myths are identified as ideological and cultural units in each of the
four poetry books of Infinite Memory of America. They are The Endless Voyage, Invisible
Geography of America, All the Stones of the Wall and Once upon a time al-Andalus.

well as the notion of mystical phenomenon according to Juan Martin Velasco....
