Modernism, neo-baroque and disease

I10-R10-article-359772021-12-14T13:24:14Z Modernism, neo-baroque and disease Modernismo, neobarroco y enfermedad Ignacio Iriarte disease sexualities modernism neo-barroque enfermedad sexualidades modernismo neobarroco In this text, I analyze the relationships between literature, disease and sexualities, establishing a comparison between the end of the 19th century and the end of the 20th. In the first part I describe “Psicopatía”, a short story by Enrique Gómez Carrillo and I develope a grid that divides normality and disease through the firm / infirm pair. Then I describe the metaphorical transpositions of this idea of disease in the fields of morality, society and sexualities through the analysis of texts by Enrique José Varona, La prostitución en la ciudad de La Habana, by Benjamin de Céspedes and some reviews on the work of Julián del Casal. My first hypothesis is that the conjunction between forbidden sexualities, disease and the rupture of the representation produces the emergency conditions of the neo-baroque literature. Then I analyze the ways in which Nestor Perlongher takes up these themes in La prostitución masculina. My second hypothesis is that the neo-baroque literature is organized on the normal / abnormal, fime / unstable grid that modernism produces. At the end of the work, I analyze Perlongher's approach to the disappearance of homosexuality after the outbreak of AIDS and I explore its consequences in modern literature. En este trabajo me ocupo de las relaciones entre literatura, enfermedad y sexualidades estableciendo una comparación entre los fines del siglo xix y xx. En la primera parte, abordo “Psicopatía”, un cuento de Enrique Gómez Carrillo. A partir de él, elaboro una grilla que divide la normalidad y la enfermedad a través de la dupla firme/infirme. Luego describo las trasposiciones metafóricas de esta idea en los campos de la moral, la sociedad y las sexualidades a través de textos de Enrique José Varona, La prostitución en la ciudad de La Habana, de Benjamín de Céspedes, y algunas reseñas sobre la obra de Julián del Casal. Mi primera hipótesis es que la conjunción entre las sexualidades prohibidas, la enfermedad y la ruptura de la representación produce las condiciones de emergencia del neobarroco. Luego, analizo las formas en las que Néstor Perlongher retoma estos temas en La prostitución masculina. Mi segunda hipótesis es que el neobarroco se organiza sobre la grilla normal/anormal, firme/infirme que produce el modernismo. Al final del trabajo abordo el planteo de Perlongher sobre la desaparición de la homosexualidad tras la irrupción del sida y exploro sus consecuencias en la literatura.
