| Sumario: | In Latin America it is possible to encounter a profusion of texts related to Afro-Indo-American elements that dialogue with the particular sense of what Severo Sarduy called “the neo-baroque”. Lezama Lima’s and Alejo Carpentiers’ work, along with the poetry of Osvaldo Lamborghini, and the prose of Washington Cucurto, seemed to have opted for an irreverently anti-Occidentalist aesthetic that urges reading culture against to the established. With a marked influence from the Caribbean and the region of the Rio de la Plata indistinctly, we found new leaks that re-signify what Néstor Perlongher denominated as <<neobarroso>>.This article analyzes how this neologism is not only applicable to literature, but also as the mark of a historical sensitivity. In order to accomplish this, we trace the linking points between the Afrio-american history and the literary work of Cucurto. As a result, we have find the traces of a new <<Caribbean drift>> linked with the Rio de la Plata.This way, we contribute to the construction of a genealogy that links artistic and social sensibilities through the study of its ca(r)nnibal and transplatinian characteristics. |
