La ironía en la narrativa de Virgilio Piñera: crítica individual y social

Abstract

In Virgilio Pinera’s narrative, irony is presented as a modality of thought that responds to the critical and transgressive need of the Cuban writer, who resorts to the elusive nature of this literary figuration to create narrative texts that constantly question reality on a complex interpretive level, which mainly focuses on the critique of official culture, be it religion, the State, morality, literary canon, modern man. Through the phases of Pere Ballart's ironic minimum, some texts from Cuentos fríos and La carne de René are analyzed with the purpose of explaining irony as an articulating procedure or constructive principle in Virgilio Piñera's narrative, and, consequently, the individual and social critique that the author proposes.En la narrativa de Virgilio Piñera, la ironía es una modalidad del pensamiento que responde a la necesidad crítica y transgresora del escritor cubano, quien recurre a la naturaleza elusiva de esta figuración literaria para crear textos narrativos que cuestionan constantemente la realidad con un nivel interpretativo complejo, que sobre todo recae en la crítica a la cultura oficial, llámese religión, Estado, moral, canon literario, hombre moderno. Mediante las fases del mínimum irónico de Pere Ballart, se analizan algunos textos de Cuentos fríos y La carne de René con el propósito de explicar la ironía como procedimiento articulador o principio constructivo en la narrativa de Virgilio Piñera, y, por ende, la crítica individual y social que propone el autor
