          Abstract

          Resumen El artículo se propone indagar en las figuraciones (post)urbanas de la ciudad de La Habana a partir de las producciones de dos artistas cubanos: una muestra del artista plástico, Carlos Garaicoa, Epifanías urbanas (2017) y un libro de relatos del escritor Jorge Ángel Pérez, En La Habana no son tan elegantes (2012). En ambos casos, es posible leer esas texturas heterogéneas en clave de formas de distopía (post)urbana enlazadas a una serie de imágenes y dispositivos que, con frecuencia, reaparece en las artes plásticas y la literatura contemporáneas como ficciones del “después del después” (De la Campa, 2017, p. 33). Son relatos que no solamente deconstruyen las modulaciones del mito modernizador de la urbe latinoamericana sino que avanza hacia una inflexión estético-cosmológica que relee y desordena el sistema de dicotomías con las que la tradición procesó el vínculo del sujeto creador con el paisaje urbano. Mi hipótesis es que la figuración de una ciudad, vista e imaginada desde el lugar descentrado de la alcantarilla, produce un movimiento centrífugo sobre su archivo imagético, convirtiendo a esas figuraciones en sinécdoques del extravío y de lo estrábico ya que, en tanto que urbe, La Habana se ha fugado de sus protocolos fundacionales, se ha fugado también de la genealogía de las ciudades míticas latinoamericanas (los Macondo, las Santa María). Entonces, la mirada oblicua del arte, desde el devenir alcantarilla (ciudad/mirada), procesa su opacidad.

          Translated abstract

          Abstract The article intends to investigate the (post) urban representations of Havana from the productions of two cuban artists: a sample of the visual artist Carlos Garaicoa, Epifanías urbanas (2017) and the story collection En la Habana no son tan elegantes (2012) by writer Jorge Angel Pérez. In both cases these heterogeneous narratives can be interpreted as forms of (post)urban dystopia, interconnected with recurring visual and literary images that depict of “after the after” (De la Campa, 2017, p. 33). These stories not only deconstruct the modulations of the myth of modernization in the Latin American city, but also move towards aesthetic-cosmological inflections that reinterpret and disrupt the dichotomous relationship between the creative subject and the urban landscape. My hypothesis is that these figurations of the city, viewed and imagined from the decentered place of the sewer, generate a centrifugal movement within the city's imaginary archive, transforming these representations into synecdoches of loss and disarray. As Havana, while remaining a city, has escaped from its foundational protocols, it has also distanced itself from the genealogy of the mythical Latin American cities like Macondo and Santa María. Thus, the oblique gaze of art, emerging from the sewer (both as a physical space and a metaphorical vantage point), gives rise to its opacity.
