Abstract

Considering the debates about postmodernity, this paper discusses the reflection on repetition in form and content in Tres tristes tigres by Guillermo Cabrera Infante. Through an analysis of the leit motiv of spectacle, I explore the tensions between writing and the stereotypes of identity in the post-revolutionary Cuban context. Considering the theoretical approaches by Guy Debord, Yuri Lotman, Jean Baudrillard, among others, I analyze the configuration of a “spectacular semiosphere” where the characters define their submission or rebellion to a uni- form and controllable setting. I argue that the novel problematizes the conditions of representation of a diversity of human types as point of departure to the acknowledgement of the limits of legibility of the 1960s Havana.
