La Revolución cubana jugó un papel central en aquel conflicto, en buena medida, por haber sido un movimiento político que en el lapso de una década recorrió casi todas las facetas de la izquierda regional. La polis literaria nos muestra ese camino y pone voz a todos los intelectuales de aquella época.
La querella ideológica de la Guerra Fría, en los años sesenta y setenta, reformuló el gran tema cultural de las identidades nacionales y el latinoamericanismo, que se discutía desde la guerra de 1898 en el Caribe, y la nueva novela fue sometida a indagaciones críticas encontradas a partir de diversas ideologías de izquierda. Ése fue el contexto de la entrada en escena del llamado boom de la nueva novela latinoamericana. Una generación de escritores nacida, fundamentalmente, entre los años veinte y treinta, como Julio Cortázar, Augusto Roa Bastos, Gabriel García Márquez, Carlos Fuentes, José Donoso o Guillermo Cabrera Infante, comenzó a publicar cuentos y novelas en los años previos al triunfo de la Revolución cubana, en enero de 1959. El oficio de la literatura, o específicamente de la novela, al que aspiraban aquellos escritores, formó parte del conflicto ideológico de la Guerra Fría.
La literatura latinoamericana no podía imaginarse al margen de la oposición a las dictaduras y de la lucha de la izquierda por el socialismo o la democracia. Con una nueva mirada a los escritores del boom, Rafael Rojas nos muestra las poéticas y luchas intelectuales y sociales de esa literatura que transformó y dio una vuelta de tuerca a lo llamado latinoamericano.
ENGLISH DESCRIPTION
Latin America experienced the Cold War very intensely politically, but also culturally. The Cuban Revolution played a key role in that conflict, largely because it was a political movement that in the span of a decade touched upon almost all aspects of the left within that region. The Literary Polis narrates those developments and gives a voice to intellectuals of that era.
Ideological arguments of the Cold War reaffirmed a great cultural concept of national identity and Latin Americanism; at this time, the new novel was subjected to critical analyses by many different ideologies. It is within this context that the so-called boom of the new Latin American novel came to the forefront.
A generation of writers born in the twenties and thirties, such as Julio Cortazar, Augusto Roa Bastos, Gabriel Garcia Marquez, Carlos Fuentes, Jose Donoso or Guillermo Cabrera Infante, began publishing stories and novels in the years prior the Cuban Revolution in January 1959. Literature, particularly novels, which those writers aspired to create, were very much part of the ideological conflict of the Cold War.
With a new look at the Latin American Boom, Rafael Rojas shares the intellectual and social struggles of that literature which transformed and gave a new twist to Latin American.
