INSCRITURA E TRANSCULTURALIDADE COMO POESIA E CIMARRONAJE EM NICOLÁS GUILLÉN

Abstract

By presenting how African cosmogony and cosmovision operate and are systematized as contributions to literary and historiographical criticism in Latin America, this article tries to enhance the visibility of the African experience in the aforementioned continent. Stemming from the articulation of concepts such as cimarronaje (Mendes 2019) and Inscritura (Queiroz 2007), the intention underlying the study of Nicolás Guillén’s poetry (1959) is to present how son’s aesthetic-performing intelligence is articulated as a genuine Afro expression in Latin American literature and societies. Reflected on the purpose that highlights the motivations of Southern Epistemologies, by bringing the traditional and sapiential fundaments that brought Africa and America closer, the study highlights the importance and centeredness of ancestral heritage.
