Sumario:In this paper I aim to examine four short tales written by cuban writer Virgilio Piñera (1912-1979): “Las partes” (1944), “Cosas de cojos” (1956), “La cara” (1956), and “Oficio de tinieblas” (1961), all collected in El que vino a salvarme (1970). Mi reading focuses on a set of physical conditions, such as blindness, lameness and body disaggregation. I analyze how these conditions create protected spaces, insularities that differentiate, physical and socially from crhonological time and cotidianity meaning. I’m interested in how these universes build hetherotopia (Foucault, 1994), in other words, reserved places that resist to external logic and where characters use their bodies to construct new kinds of relationships, in terms of otherness and community (Nancy, 2000).
