What is the relationship between visuality, racial violence, and political hegemony in Cuba? In Vista del amanecer en el trópico (1974), Guillermo Cabrera Infante tries to answer this question by focusing on visual media and its manipulation over half a millennium. My analysis of the novel as a parody of a Latin American álbum de vistas—a book with idealized etchings, engravings, maps, and/or photos of places and people—uncovers the connection of engravings and photography to Cuba’s racialized political projects. Vista del amanecer underscores continuities in racist ideologies and policies that undermine indigenous people and Afro-Cubans, despite revolutions and changes in political configurations. My thematic and structural study of the novel’s engagement with engravings and photographs demonstrates how Cabrera Infante criticizes state actors who promote race-based violence through the production and dissemination of those two distinct media.
在古巴，视觉性、种族暴力和政治霸权之间的关系是什么?在《Vista del amanecer en el trópico》(1974)中，Guillermo Cabrera Infante试图通过关注视觉媒体及其在五千年中的操纵来回答这个问题。我分析这部小说是对拉丁美洲álbum de vistas的恶搞，这本书中有理想化的蚀刻、版画、地图和/或地方和人物的照片，揭示了版画和摄影与古巴种族化的政治计划之间的联系。“展望未来”强调，尽管发生了革命和政治结构发生了变化，但种族主义意识形态和政策仍在继续损害土著人民和非裔古巴人。我对小说中版画和照片的主题和结构研究展示了Cabrera Infante是如何批评那些通过这两种不同媒体的制作和传播来促进种族暴力的国家行为者的。

This article intends to discuss Jorge Luis Borges’ Poetics of the Narrative, that is, to question the form and the literary devices which make a narrative somehow effective. I shall focus on aspects associated with the buildup of the plot, such as the magic causality, the writing style based upon a concept of selective memory and oriented towards a dynamic and concatenated articulation of the events. The technicity inherent to these aspects increases the interaction between the reader and the text, makes of the former a machine operator of an open mechanism.

This article examines the ideo-aesthetic function of alcohol in Martín Luis Guzmán literary magnum opus La sombra del caudillo. Specifically, I read alcohol as a broader process of consumption, inebriation and affective transformation that concurrently reflects and influences individual and collective power dynamics at play. Rather than a mere object of consumption, it behaves as an active agent that participates in, ignites and transforms other processes in the text. Within the ideological domain, I focus on what the individual and collective drinking practices reveal about those who drink and how questions of gender, class and race are negotiated through literary representation. I then consider the aesthetic and symbolic function of alcohol in relation to the broader sociopolitical practice of state-building. I analyze how alcohol consumption becomes a double-edged sword with the potential to foster comradery or conflict and how its excess transforms social relations from amicable political encounters to violent confrontations. Ultimately, I argue that the ideo-aesthetic role of alcohol in La sombra del caudillo contributes to the work’s overarching theme of tragedy.
本文考察了酒精在Martín Luis Guzmán文学巨著La sombra del caudillo中的形象美学功能。具体来说，我认为酒精是一个消费、醉酒和情感转变的更广泛的过程，同时反映和影响着个人和集体的权力动态。它不仅仅是一个消费对象，而是作为一个活跃的主体，参与、点燃和转化文本中的其他过程。在意识形态领域，我关注个人和集体饮酒行为对饮酒者的启示，以及性别、阶级和种族问题是如何通过文学表现来协商的。然后，我考虑了与国家建设的更广泛的社会政治实践有关的酒精的美学和象征功能。我分析了酒精消费如何成为一把双刃剑，有可能促进同志情谊或冲突，以及酒精的过量如何将社会关系从友好的政治接触转变为暴力对抗。最后，我认为，酒在《黑影》中所扮演的观念美学角色，促成了这部作品的悲剧主题。

This article examines the use of the grotesque in Griselda Gambaro’s play, Nada que ver, and her novel Nada que ver con otra historia. The discussion first establishes key intertextual connections between Gambaro’s work and other literary and theatrical antecedents, to then focus in detail on Gambaro’s own use of the grotesque. Particular attention is paid to the ways in which the grotesque acts as a differentiating trope built around discrepancies between the dictatorial state and the monstrous. This contrast is epitomised at one extreme through the allusions to Onganía’s regime in Argentina and, at the other, through a man-made creature that has a leading role in both texts. This article argues that, in Gambaro’s work, the grotesque constitutes a new value of embodiment, subverting and generating new practices of visibility which allow for participatory spectatorship and political readings.
