Abstract
-
As opposed to other Latin-American literatures, Cuban literature in the seventies and eighties of the last century was not characterized by the development of narrative written by women. This could seem a contradiction given the emphasis that the project known as the "Cuban Revolution" placed on restituting misappropriated values put on women by a pseudo-republican Cuba for the services of foreign interests. For the new female "partner" in the interior of the emerging revolutionary discourse, her image would not be identified with that of the prostitutes, housewives or illiterate mothers that the governing powers in previous times wanted to impose as the only image, however she would be identified with that of active subjects--physically and intellectually--in the construction of said project.;The present dissertation has as its foundation the necessity of a study that shows that the production of the selected writers (born in between 1959 and 1975) whose work begins to be written and published during the 1990's, undertakes the labor of re-writing the national imaginary. Through these authors and the selected works, we can progressively identify the national displacements--invisible to the mediums of diffusion and the propagandist apparatus of power in the last years. I will focus on the study of the manner in which the representation of the female characters is articulated by the selected authors.
