The Cautaro de cubanismos of Fernando Ortiz and the reinvention of philological traditions
Abstract
The lexicographical legacy of the Cuban anthropologist Fernando Ortiz renewed their value in recent decades. Gustavo Pérez Firmat, among other literary and cultural critics, found in this collection the background of broader and heterogeneous symbolic configurations than those held during the cultural boom of the revolutionary period. The purpose of this paper is to briefly review the lexicographical texts that were reconsidered in recent decades; point out some milestones of the reception of such linguistic production and analyze its impact on the process of reinventing philological traditions in contemporary Cuban literature.Downloads
