Hygrophilia as a Waste of Language in Cobra by Severo Sarduy

Undoubtedly, in these times the struggle for the expansion of the literary canon operates from the language, specifically, from its transgressive character. Cobra (1972) by Severo Sarduy is an example of this type of work in which the beautiful and ornate word surrenders so that a colossal monument...

Es indudable que en estos tiempos la lucha por la dilatación del canon literario opera desde el lenguaje, específicamente, a partir de su carácter transgresivo. Cobra (1972) de Severo Sarduy es un ejemplo de ese tipo de obra en la que la palabra bella y adornada se rinde para que se levante un monumento colosal de la degradación del lenguaje, con personajes que experimentan en sus cuerpos esa subversión del canon que da entrada a una literatura, ya no sustentada en la solemnidad, sino en lo abyecto. El carácter transgresivo de Cobra puede notarse en el desperdicio del lenguaje y con el que yo busco demostrar que tal exceso encuentra su plenitud en el derramamiento de los fluidos corporales. Los personajes de la novela experimentan la higrofilia: gozan en la emanación de la sangre, el orín, el semen, el sudor, las heces, etc., a la vez que se reduplican, estiran los significados de las cosas con un manejo estético. ¿No es Cobra, entonces, una fiel expresión del neobarroco que termina por fragmentar sus contornos y proponer una distinta representación del arte?
