| Sumario: | This article attempts to analyze the role of nostalgia understood as the emotional distress that remoteness entails. The spatial and visual nature of exile and migration wounds turns nostalgia into a creativity channel which seeks to reconstruct the places that have been left. Some works of Alejo Carpentier, José Pedro Díaz, Joaquín Torres García and Antonio Bonet are analyzed from the perspectives of literature, art and finally architecture in order to trace the heuristic power of pain –algia- that homesickness –nostos- implies. While writers express restraint by means of irony and deception, painter Torres García reconstructs the past through a merciless and unrestrained work. This is also shown when reproducing his Catalan home in Montevideo: architects Juan Menchaca and Ernesto Leborgne work on his aesthetic Mediterranean project. Antonio Bonet, in turn, intends to reconstruct his past in Barcelona (a modern and vernacular one) but this goes against the Andalusia’s folklore of his clients: Rafael Alberti and Rosa León. |
