Abstract
SILVA, Gisele Reinaldo da. The Overlap Between History and Literature in the Reading of Mariano Picón Salas, Roberto Fernández Retamar, José Lezama Lima and Antonio Cornejo Polar. Acta poét [online]. 2021, vol.42, n.1, pp.135-154. Epub Mar 03, 2021. ISSN 2448-735X. https://doi.org/10.19130/iifl.ap.2021.1.889.
This article considers the socio-cultural problems of Venezuela, and by extension of Hispanic America, regarding the unfinished historical process of building cultural identities beyond European determinisms, mythical legends or utopias about the American being. We will address the singularity of Latin American literature, in its representation of the place of American speech, in relation with the overlap between Literature and History. We will draw from theoretical-critical contributions by Picón Salas, Fernández Retamar, Lezama Lima and Cornejo Polar.
Keywords : Hispanic-American Literature; History; Latin American Novel; Cultural Miscegenation; Latin America.
