| Sumario: | Since Modernity, a new discourse connected with the city takes on dimension and moves away from images metaphysically superimposed on the material fact of its existence. Taking into account a particular inversion of the pathos of Havana (become ironized, resemantized, hidden under, supplanted by the phrase La Vana) in the poetry of Jamila Medina Ríos (Holguín, Cuba, 1981), the present study aims to characterize through of the hermeneutic method the tropological assumptions of the relations of the lyrical subjects with a ridiculed Havana cosmos from a lexicalization process. Although Medina's poetic work is taken as a universe, it is in Anémona (2013) and País de la siguaraya (2017) where a polyhedral file on the Cuban capital is recreated. It is concluded that the representations of Havana in his collections of poems attempt against the national discourse of the wonder city and impose an otherness related sometimes to the voluptuous, the physiological and the eschatological and sometimes to topophilia through marginal spaces and the road-poem and that they in turn reveal an alienated lyrical self. |
