ARCHIVE’S THEORIES, WAYS TO SLIP AWAY. ON TEORÍA DEL ALMA CHINA BY CARLOS A. AGUILERA

Abstract

The article proposes to define the characteristics of Oriental signs in the literature of Cuban writer Carlos A. Aguilera, under further investigation, about the return of a Soviet archive in Cuban literature. Taking as a starting point the destabilizations of realistic literature emerged during the nineties (Mateo Palmer, 1995), we note first, at the beginning of the poetics of the author, Eurasians signifiers and the references made by the search for construction of an alternative literary territory to the national project. From this perspective the book Teoría del alma china (2006) is then analyzed. We focus reading in the staging of file problems in Latin American literature, especially the file of modernity and the predominant presence of animals and disfigurement of the human, as critical to the modes of relationship between the bodies and the State.
