| Sumario: | Julio Cortázar’s unique background plots out a parabola with a starting
point in his condition as a mentally colonized writer (Jauretche) and with an
end point in his political and historical awareness, which compelled him to
denounce the cultural genocide committed by American imperialism and to
champion the socialist revolutions of his day. In this respect, our work aims
at searching into the conversion of his poetic anthropology into a historical
poetics, arguing that the metaphysical problems posed by the former from
a strictly literary perspective spread out over the geopolitical domain
through a confluence of a politics of literature and a writer’s politics
(Rancière). To this end, we selected an extensive corpus of texts and
analyzed the evolution of Cortazarian poetics with respect to the
composition of popular subjects. We observed that such subjects were
initially portrayed as a radical alterity (Baudrillard) from the “I”-enunciator,
and later constituted the incarnation of a cultural paradigm that allowed for
a genuine existence through solidarity and the contact with others (García
Canclini). Finally, we will focus on the “solar feeling” and on the “bridgemen”
as symbols of a mature and hopeful Cortázar who proposes a balance
between polarities as a necessary condition for a true revolution. |
