On the Art of Not Belonging: the Post-exile Experience in Magali Alabau's We have Arrived at Ilión
In the poem-book We have arrived at Ilión (1992), Magali Alabau (Cienfuegos, 1945) recounts the trip back to Havana that she made twenty years after going to live in the United States. Reissued again in 2013 by Editorial Betania in Madrid, the text does not lose validity as a contemporary account of...

Reissued again in 2013 by Editorial Betania in Madrid, the text does not lose validity as a contemporary account of the Cuban diaspora. This paper offers a reading of the poem in light of the notion of post-exile as developed by Alexis Nouss (2015), integrating the contributions of the social sciences in the perspective of comparative literature. On the one hand, we examine the various strategies that converge in the ghostly representation of the city, where spatial references intersect with mythological ones, highlighting the void left by the absent. On the other, we analyze some factors that define the status of the poetic speaker as a subject of post-exile in Alabau's long poem. En el poema-libro Hemos llegado a Ilión (1992) Magali Alabau (Cienfuegos, 1945) da cuenta del viaje de regreso a La Habana que realizó veinte años después de haber partido a vivir a Estados Unidos. Reeditado en 2013 nuevamente por Editorial Betania en Madrid, el texto no pierde vigencia como relato contemporáneo de la diáspora cubana. Este trabajo ofrece una lectura del poema a la luz de la noción de pos-exilio tal como la desarrolla Alexis Nouss (2015), integrando los aportes de las ciencias sociales en la perspectiva de la literatura comparada. Por una parte, se examinan las diversas estrategias que confluyen en la representación fantasmal de la ciudad, donde los referentes espaciales se entrecruzan con los mitológicos, poniendo de relieve el vacío que dejaron los ausentes. Por otra, se analizan algunos factores que en el largo poema de Alabau definen el estatuto de la hablante poética como sujeto del pos-exilio.
