National identity as a problem in Jules Supervielle and Felisberto Hernández
Main Article Content
The ties of Jules Supervielle and Felisberto Hernández with their respective national traditions pose a critical problem. If the work of the former is crossed by the question of his bilingualism and his upbringing between Europe and America, the latter always found it difficult to be thought of as part of the Uruguayan narrative tradition, to the point of being placed by Angel Rama in the diffuse category “raros”. Through the study of some of his narrative works and his personal texts, this article traces, in their similarities and differences, his ways of destabilizing narrow national categories and offering new answers to the question of what it means to be a Uruguayan writer.
