Abstract

CANDELARIO MARTINEZ, Miguel. Modern Reformulation of Traditional Fantastic Motifs In María Elena Llana’s ''Claudina”. Káñina [online]. 2023, vol.47, n.1, pp.103-113. ISSN 2215-2636.  http://dx.doi.org/10.15517/rk.v47i1.54641.

In her book Casas del Vedado (1983), Cuban author María Elena Llana explores themes and compositional strategies of non-realistic literary traditions that have remained in force in Latin America to date. In this paper I analyze one of her stories, "Claudina", with the aim of obtaining an understanding of her specific poetics in the general framework of supernatural fiction in our continent, as well as the symbolic meaning of the supernatural used by the author in this short story.

Keywords : anti-realism; short story; Cuba; fantastic literature.
