- Title
Arqueologías globales en la literatura cubana: de las ruinas al chicle.
- Authors
Quesada Gómez, Catalina
- Abstract
This article examines the role of certain objects or materials in the works of Cuban writers Jorge Enrique Lage and Legna Rodríguez Iglesias. It aims at clarifying, first, the way they distance themselves from the previous generation by using those materials. Lage and Rodríguez Iglesias abandon the clichés of scarcity, decay or ruins, and thus express their detachment from a literature obsessed with national topics. Furthermore, the essay analyzes how the focus on the material does not lead necessarily to a new realism in these writers.
