ISTMICA122132019-11-07T19:03:20Z About the migrant condition of Caribbean literature: geo-aesthetics of resistance, between tourism and sovereignty Sobre la condición migrante de la literatura caribeña: geoestéticas de resistencia, entre el turismo y la soberanía Bonfiglio, Florencia Caribbean literature, geo-aesthetics, tourism discourse, A Small Place, Kincaid literatura caribeña, geoestética, discurso turístico, A Small Place, Kincaid The article analyzes some central issues in Caribbean literature, in particular of the Francophone and Anglophone areas, relating with the lack of development and the colonial functioning of their literary systems, on the one hand, and the social, economic and political problem of emigration in the Antilles, on the other. As I here propose, it is the migrant condition of Caribbean literature, as a system affected by the assive movement of its producers, that greatly determines its motivations and interests, focused on regional identity (and regionalist culture) repeatedly. The article explores, amongst other common-places (Glissant) in Caribbean literary discourse, its geographically marked aesthetics which is expressed even from a migrant (distant) locus of enunciation with decolonizing ends, linked in turn with the tradition of anti-colonialist male, militant writing of the past century. After a revision of this legacy through two critical readings (Tinsley, Condé), a series of texts is looked at where the persistence of an Antillean geo-aesthetics can be observed, such as A Small Place by Jamaica Kincaid which creatively appropriates tourism discourse from a geopolitical perspective of resistance to neocolonial domination.. El artículo analiza algunas problemáticas centrales de la literatura caribeña, en particular de expresión francófona y anglófona, relacionadas, por un lado, con la falta de desarrollo y el funcionamiento colonial de sus sistemas literarios, y, por el otro, con el problema social, económico y político de la emigración en las Antillas. Como propongo, es la misma condición migrante de la literatura caribeña, en tanto sistema atravesado por el desplazamiento masivo de sus productores, la que en gran parte determina sus motivaciones e intereses, enfocados a la identidad regional (y a la cultura regionalista) de modo recurrente. El artículo indaga, entre otros lugares-comunes (Glissant) del discurso literario caribeño, su estética geográficamente marcada que es enunciada aun desde un locus migrante (distante) con fines descolonizadores, los cuales se vinculan con la tradición anticolonialista, masculina y de sesgo militante del siglo pasado. Luego de una revisión de este legado a partir de dos aproximaciones críticas (Tinsley, Condé), se lee una serie de textos donde se observa la persistencia de la geoestética antillana, como A Small Place de Jamaica Kincaid, los cuales se apropian creativamente del discurso turístico desde una perspectiva geopolítica de resistencia a las dominaciones aún coloniales.
