This article aims to think about irony in José Miguel Silva’s poetry as a discursive strategy that transforms the poem into a space for reflecting on being-in-the-world and for denouncing the prevailing contradictions in contemporary society. Transiting between a humor that mirrors the nonsense of modern life and a certain melancholy, José Miguel Silva’s ironic poetry makes daily facts his subject and language his “weapon” in the fight against the emptying of the meaning in the word in contemporary communicative society and the inconsistencies of the current economic model.
