description |
Undoubtedly, in these times the struggle for the expansion of the literary canon operates from the language, specifically, from its transgressive character. Cobra (1972) by Severo Sarduy is an example of this type of work in which the beautiful and ornate word surrenders so that a colossal monument of the degradation of language rises, with characters that experience in their bodies that subversion of the canon that gives entrance to a literature, no longer based on solemnity, but on the abject. The transgressive character of Cobra can be seen in the waste of language and with which I seek to show that such excess finds its fullness in the spilling of bodily fluids. The characters in the novel experience the hygrophilia: they enjoy the emanation of blood, urine, semen, sweat, stools, etc., while they reduplicate, stretch the meanings of things with an aesthetic management. Is not Cobra, then, a faithful expression of the neo-baroque that ends up fragmenting its contours and proposing a different representation of art? |
