%0 Journal Article %T De la tradici¨®n a la ruptura en tres obras narrativas de Luis Rafael S¨¢nchez %A Y¨¢nez Delgado %A Yanira %J Letras %D 2010 %I Scientific Electronic Library Online %X the narrative work of luis rafael s¨¢nchez starts in the 60s with the issue of en cuerpo de camisa, an anthology of short stories. later, he published two novels, la guaracha del macho camacho (1976) and la importancia de llamarse daniel santos (1989). in each work he departs from the totalizing criteria of puerto rican literature that was considered hegemonic until the 60s, and initiates a praxis that subverts the established order in its cultural field. the narrator£¿s creative project becomes realized with the construction of puerto rican and caribbean identity. in this corpus we have found discursive ruptures, the incorporation of subaltern genres and marginal characters, as well as a constant problematization of puerto rican literature from irony and humor. all of this leads the work of s¨¢nchez through a path of hybridization, the same path that configures puerto rican and caribbean identity. %K caribbean narrative %K hybridization %K subaltern genres. %U http://www.scielo.org.ve/scielo.php?script=sci_abstract&pid=S0459-12832010000200006&lng=en&nrm=iso&tlng=en
