Abstract

The aim of this paper is to analyze the concept of revolution that is present in the neobaroque of Severo Sarduy. There is, in the work of the Cuban writer, a deep concern for redefining the idea of revolution in a context in which intellectuals like Octavio Paz announced its death. Facing this skepticism regarding the revolutionary, Sarduy did not opt for abandoning the idea of revolution, but he reworked it through the combination of a persistent critique of capitalism and the critique of western metaphysics that was present in French philosophy of his time. The union of both critiques is what makes his concept of revolution peculiar, in which language and body have a central place to raise the revolutionary.
