Reelaborando la perspectiva sobre la identidad dominicana: la negritud en la poesía de Aída Cartagena Portalatín

[Autom. eng. transl.] In 1941, the Dominican poet Aída Cartagena Portalatín had the opportunity to meet the surrealist poet André Breton. He, recently arrived in Santo Domingo after having been in Martinique, will speak to her and the other members of the poetic group about the “Surprised Poetry” of an extraordinary poet, Aimé Césaire, and about the poetry of négritude. Years later, Cartagena Portalatín would remember this meeting as 'unforgettable'. This work proposes an analysis of the elements related to blackness that Cartagena Portalatín reworked in her poetry starting in 1961. The results of said analysis will allow us to offer an interpretation of the relationship that the poet maintained with blackness in relation to the context. Dominican cultural and ideological of the 20th century.
