The Haitian Revolution

Alejo Carpentier, Cuban novelist and musicologist, formed important connections between the European and Latin American modern literature of the 20th century. He was a founder of the avant-garde Afro-Cuban movement, incorporating African heritage into Cuban art, theater, and music. Exiled in France from 1929–1939 for political dissent, he associated with surrealists and was for a time heavily influenced by their work. In France, he finished the novel he had started in a Cuban prison: ¡Ecue-Yamba-O! [Praise be to God!] (1933). Following his return to Cuba, a trip to Haiti inspired his novel, El reino de este mundo [The Kingdom of this World] (1948), an imaginative recreation of the Haitian revolution and its aftermath. In his prologue to this novel, he introduced the term lo real maravilloso Americano, or magical realism, as it was later known.

Definition Of

This essay studies the Cuban novel El Recurso del Método by the Cuban novelist Alejo Carpentier,precursor of the “marvelous realism” in the Americas from a comparative perspective of literary theories andnotions such as intertextuality, the cultural decolonization process, deterritorialization, literary and culturalhybridism and the search for cultural identity within the historical, social and political framework ofCarpentier’s literary rendering. Some fundamental notions about the historical evolution of comparativeliterature are dealt with to better comprehend the importance of Carpentier’s literary work, his contribution to agenuine Latin American identity as well as the inclusion of this peripheral literature into the world literature.Providing some examples of this literary device present in the novel, the origin and definition of the so-called“marvelous reality” are focused. The intertextual nature of Carpentier’s text and its carnavalized discourse, itshybrid features and the transcultural issues are outlined in this essay as well.

A Performance

Chapter 3 is concerned with the performance of Pájaros de la playa (2001, 2007) performed by the group El Ciervo Encantado, written by Nelda Castillo and based on the novel (1993) by Severo Sarduy. Here, the staging of bodies dying of AIDS links the queer body to the body in pain in a performance that is beyond language. At its essence, Pájaros challenges the spectator to create meaning in spite of frustration that is caused by denying the audience access to the beautiful through persistent returns to the painful. This vacillation between the agonizing and the beautiful offers a way to understand the sick body, and how to resist the ways in which bodies become mired in singular linear destinations based upon political myopia and fear. Lee Edelman’s sinthomosexuality theory forms the basis of my exploration into how queer bodies resist the linear finality of reproduction and historical narratives. The chapter argues that it is in the moment that the spectator witnesses pain and dying that doubt—about justice and self—emerges and real change can commence.

Resumo: O presente estudo consiste em uma leitura crítica de A serviço del-Rei, de Autran D/ourado, contemplando o caráter metaficcional da mediação narrativa e a formulação de um alter ego do autor. Além desses pontos, recebe destaque o diálogo que o volume estabelece com outras obras do escritor mineiro e da literatura ocidental a partir da composição de metáforas. A fim de cumprir a finalidade a que se propõe, a pesquisa tem como fundamento teórico os estudos sobre metáfora e imaginação poética de Philip Wheelwright (1968) e Gaston Bachelard (1990, 2001, 2002), e as reflexões sobre a ficção do século XX que Haroldo de Campos (1972) e Severo Sarduy (1972) denominam neobarroca.Palavras-chave: Autran Dourado; ficção brasileira; metáfora; imaginação; neobarroco.Abstract: The ongoing work aims at presenting a critical reading of A serviço del-Rei, written by Autran Dourado. Throughout the analysis, we focus on the metafictional characteristics of the narrative status as well as on some formulation of the author’s alter ego and on the dialogue established by the volume with other works also written by Dourado. Regarding the metaphorical construction, another relevant connection is with Western literature. In order to follow the purpose of this research on the topic, we rely on Philip Wheelwright’s studies and Gaston Bachelard’s thoughts about metaphor and poetic imagination. In addition, we consider Haroldo de Campos and Severo Sarduy’s reflections on Neo-Baroque tendencies of the twentieth century.Keywords: Autran Dourado; Brazilian fiction; metaphor; imagination; neo-barroque.

Con base en los postulados de Severo Sarduy, Alejo Carpentier, José Lezama Lima, Omar Calabrese, Mijaíl Bajtín y Julia Kristeva, se analiza la intertextualidad como recurso neobarroco en la novela El hombre, la hembra y el hambre (1998), de la escritora cubana Daína Chaviano. Mediante una lectura en filigrana, se hace un estudio comparativo entre Claudia —protagonista de esta obra literaria—, Papillon y McMurphy —personajes de los filmes Papillon (1973) y One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest (1975), respectivamente—. Por último, se propone la imaginación y la recuperación del pasado histórico como un camino hacia la libertad del individuo y la construcción de identidad de los pueblos.

Angel Of Death

In thesis IX of the Theses on the Philosophy of History, Walter Benjamin indicates, from the painting “Angelus Novus” by Paul Klee, that the Angel of History has his face turned back, contemplating a catastrophe. He wants to stay, but the great wind of progress is pushing him forward into the future, leaving rubble on its pass. The new historical novel The Kingdom of this World by Alejo Carpentier narrates the long and tortuous process of the Haitian Revolution and beyond. At the end of the novel, there is a great green wind that sweeps across the Northern Plain and the ruins of the old sugar mill. In Carpentier's novel, there is a “wet vulture”, which I will call the Vulture of History, which is thrown over Bois Caïman, the sacred space where the revolution originated. My purpose in this essay is to explore the Vulture of History as a baroque allegory of the Haitian Revolution. Unlike the angel from Benjamin's thesis, who wants to go back to the past to reconstruct history, Carpentier's vulture is an angel of death who feeds on the detritus of history.
