Intervenciones desde la ligereza. Notas sobre escritura y política en Osdany Morales y Jorge Enrique Lage

Abstract

A corpus of texts by Osdany Morales and Jorge Enrique Lage is analyzed, recovering the political gesture of a writing that has been freed from the burden of representing any previous foundation. Far from referring to any profound truth, it is proposed that this political gesture occurs at the surface level of writing itself: as an inquiry on the act of writing, and as an affirmation of what writing can do, beyond the unfavorable production conditions in Cuba.
