This work has its source in the interest for the processes of linguistic hybridization and its relationship with the development of a system for representing the contemporary Cuban fictional reality. It focuses on two young authors: Ronaldo Menéndez (De modo que esto es la muerte) and Lorenzo Lunar (Que en vez de infierno encuentres gloria), and considers language as the supporting element of a representation which proposes itself as anchored to the referent of the most recent political processes of the island and their social repercussions. The popular language is also seen as a point of departure for a fiction which, from its mimetic aspiration, gradually moves towards an exaltation of artifice, above all in the detective novel (Lunar) and in the expressionist models (Menéndez). The popular nature of the languages and jargons which are chosen by the authors as a vehicle of expression also influence a strong hybridization of elevated and popular genres which, in their textual coexistence, interpret the conflicts of the represented world.
Este trabajo, partiendo del interés por los procesos de hibridación lingüística y sus relaciones con el desarrollo del sistema de representación de la realidad narrativa contemporánea cubana, centra su atención en dos jóvenes autores: Ronaldo Menéndez (De modo que esto es la muerte) y Lorenzo Lunar (Que en vez de infierno encuentres gloria), considerando la lengua como el sostén de una representación que se propone vinculada al referente de los últimos procesos políticos de la isla y a su repercusión social. El lenguaje popular es también visto como punto de arranque para una ficción que, desde la aspiración mimética, se desplaza progresivamente hasta la exaltación del artificio, sobre todo en la novela policiaca (Lunar) y en los módulos expresionistas (Menéndez). El rasgo popular de los lenguajes y jergas elegidas como vehículo de expresión condicionan también una fuerte hibridación de géneros cultos y populares que, en su convivencia textual, interpretan los conflictos del mundo representado.

Abstract
This work has its source in the interest for the processes of linguistic hybridization and its relationship with the development of a system for representing the contemporary Cuban fictional reality. It focuses on two young authors: Ronaldo Menéndez (De modo que esto es la muerte) and Lorenzo Lunar (Que en vez de infierno encuentres gloria), and considers language as the supporting element of a representation which proposes itself as anchored to the referent of the most recent political processes of the island and their social repercussions. The popular language is also seen as a point of departure for a fiction which, from its mimetic aspiration, gradually moves towards an exaltation of artifice, above all in the detective novel (Lunar) and in the expressionist models (Menéndez). The popular nature of the languages and jargons which are chosen by the authors as a vehicle of expression also influence a strong hybridization of elevated and popular genres which, in their textual coexistence, interpret the conflicts of the represented world.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
