About this product
Product Information
Arguably the most important Cuban writer of the twentieth century, José Lezama Lima (1910-1976) is well-known as a poet, essayist, cultural promoter, and novelist, but not as a scientist. In fact, there is no evidence of any concrete relationship between him and any pure science discipline. How then it is possible to establish connections between Lezama's literary works and the disciplines of science? How are certain scientific discoveries and developments, such as the theory of relativity, quantum mechanics, modern logic, thermodynamics, or the big bang theory, embraced in the cultural imaginary of Cuba during the first half of the twentieth century? And finally, how do those scientific discoveries and developments inform Lezama's aesthetic production? Grounded in his disciplinary experience in both literary and mathematical studies, Vargas attempts to unearth the overlaps and connections between science and art, thus offering a new critical apparatus with which scholars can study Lezama's works. In this book, he provides a close reading of Lezama s narrative works, including his two novels-- Paradiso and Oppiano Licario --as well as Lezama's essays, press articles, and interviews. The author also examines the catalog of Lezama s personal library, revealing that his poetics are based on an original and fascinating appropriation of concepts, problems, solutions, and rhetorical devices in science. Probablemente el escritor Cubano más importante del siglo XX, José Lezama Lima (1910-1976) es reconocido como poeta, ensayista, promotor cultural, y novelista, pero no por su relación con alguna disciplina de las ciencias puras. Cómo es posible entonces establecer algún tipo de asociación entre el pensamiento y la obra de Lezama con disciplinas científicas? Cómo se registran en el imaginario cultural de la Cuba de la primera mitad del siglo XX ciertos descubrimientos y desarrollos científicos como la teoría de la relatividad, la mecánica cuántica, la lógica moderna, la termodinámica, o la teoría del big bang? Y finalmente, quedan registrados esos descubrimientos y desarrollos científicos en la producción estética de Lezama? Apoyado en la perspectiva que le brinda su formación académica tanto en matemáticas como en estudios literarios, Vargas intenta resolver estos interrogantes. Una lectura detallada de la obra narrativa del autor cubano, incluyendo sus dos novelas-- Paradiso y Oppiano Licario --y de gran parte de sus ensayos, artículos de prensa y entrevistas concedidas por él, así como un examen cuidadoso de lo que sobrevivió de su biblioteca personal, muestran que la propuesta poética de Lezama está sustentada sobre una fascinante y original apropiación de conceptos, problemas, soluciones, y características retóricas del quehacer científico.

Reviews
" Cantidades hechizadas represents a careful analysis of the relationship between logic and poetry, or science and art, in the essays, poems, and prose of Lezama Lima. It does an excellent job of summarizing the history of scholarship on Lezama, and of dialoguing with that history. At the same time, it offers a singular intervention into this tradition, attending more seriously to the theme of science?and to the history of science?as it surfaces in Lezama?s work than previous research. This book will be of enormous interest to Lezama scholars, and those interested in Latin American poetics, including that of magical realism. This is due to the close textual analyses, the engagement with the history of Lezama scholarship, the breadth of the investigations, and the examination of the connection of logic and creation which is so key to Latin American poetics." -- Brett S. Levinson , State University of New York at Binghamton
