His writing thus oscillates between the arbitrariness exposed in his puns and the endeavor to represent the absent. Like that – and with what I have called “eco-logics” of Cabrera Infante’s writing –, he succeeds in joining his obsession with playing with words by decomposing them and revealing their treacherous arbitrariness, with his stubborn effort to make them translate and represent his lost Havana. In this way, Cabrera Infante’s texts become palimpsests of the necessity to re-present, archive and safeguard that which is lost, while simultaneously ridiculing that very endeavor by connecting mockery and searching, joking and desperation. Los libros de Guillermo Cabrera Infante (1929-2005), “único escritor inglés que escribió en cubano”, no solo se destacan por su gran humor y sus constantes juegos de palabras; también son intentos de hacer renacer lo que con su exilio había dejado atrás: su isla, Cuba, y en especial La Habana. Su escritura oscila entre la arbitrariedad expuesta en los puns y el intento de representación de lo ausente. De esta manera, en lo que denomino la “eco-logía” de su escritura logra combinar la manía de jugar con las palabras, de descomponerlas y mostrar su arbitrariedad traidora, con un intento obstinado de hacerlas traducir y representar su Habana perdida. Así, sus textos se hacen palimpsestos de la necesidad de re-presentar, archivar y salvar lo perdido y de la ridiculización de este mismo intento; de la burla y la búsqueda, el chiste y la desesperación. Os livros de Guillermo Cabrera Infante (1929-2005), “o único escritor inglês que escreveu em cubano”, não só se destacam por seu grande humor e constantes trocadilhos de palavras, mas também tenta reviver o que com seu exílio tinha deixado para trás: sua ilha, Cuba e, especialmente, a Havana. Sua escrita báscula entre arbitrariedade exibido em trocadilhos e tentativa de representação do ausente. Assim, no que eu chamo de “eco-logia” da escritura Cabrera Infante, ele consegue combinar seu hobby de brincar com as palavras, de decompõe-las e mostrar sua arbitrariedade traiçoeira, com a tentativa obstinada de faze-las traduzir e representar sua Havana perdida. Assim, seus textos se fazem palimpsestos da necessidade de re-presentar, arquivar e salvar o perdido e ridicularizar essa mesma tentativa; da burla e da procura, a brincadeira e o desespero. application/pdf https://revistascientificas.filo.uba.ar/index.php/zama/article/view/2185 10.34096/zama.a7.n7.2185 spa Instituto de Literatura Hispanoamericana (Facultad de Filosofía y Letras, Universidad de Buenos Aires) https://revistascientificas.filo.uba.ar/index.php/zama/article/view/2185/1916 Zama; Vol. 7 No. 7 (2015); 33-42 Zama; Vol. 7 Núm. 7 (2015); 33-42 Zama; v. 7 n. 7 (2015); 33-42 2422-6017 1851-6866 Eco-logías del exilio: Guillermo Cabrera Infante info:eu-repo/semantics/article info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion https://repositoriouba.sisbi.uba.ar/gsdl/cgi-bin/library.cgi?a=d&c=zama&d=2185_oai
