The aim of this paper is to highlight the importance and influence of Fernando Ortiz’ Contrapunteo cubano del tabaco y el azúcar (1940) for current discussions on transculturality, cultural hybridism and creolization, especially. Through a comparative approach certain differences and similarities between Ortiz’ approach and other contemporary authors such as Á. Rama, N. García Canclini, P. Burke, W. Welsch and É. Glissant are underlined. It is asserted that Ortiz’ classical anthropological survey constitutes another contribution of an Antillean-Caribbean intellectual corpus whose importance should be better appreciated. Althought the emphasis in Ortiz’ book is on the Cuban society of his days, his broad transcultural perspective still has, in the present times, high relevance.

This article presents and confronts two views concerning the link between modernity and romanticism. On the one hand, the view proposed by the Nobel Prize winner, the Mexican Octavio Paz in his book Los hijos del limo. Del romanticismo a la vanguardia, and, on the other hand, the one put forward by the prolific Spanish writer Rafael Argullol in his El Héroe y el Único. El espíritu trágico del romanticismo. While for O. Paz the romantic movement as a child of modernity has inspired partially the modern search for the new in itself, for R. Argullol the romantic spirit is expression above all of a tragic-heroic mood of dissatisfaction with modernity. Both writers see the paradoxical nature of romanticism –sometimes longing for the past, sometimes dreaming about the future– as a complex expression of modernity’s self-awareness and self-criticism.

The purpose of this article is to comment on some specific aspects of the literary essay in base of texts by two contemporary authors: the Swiss Jean Starobinski (1920–2019) and the Mexican Salvador Elizondo (1932–2006). What these two writers have in common is a certain conception of the essay modelled after the example of Montaigne: the essay is viewed as the place in which the concrete, corporeal, individual is, so to speak, shown and exposed. It is argued that the essayistic voice emerging from the writings of Starobinski and Elizondo is a reflective voice that expresses most concrete experiences in human life.
