	Alejo Carpentier - Wikipedia
		Carpentier war der Sohn eines französischen Architekten und einer Russin in Havanna.Er studierte Architektur, Literatur und Musikwissenschaft.
		Mit dem Sieg des Faschismus in Europa 1939 kehrte Carpentier wieder nach Havanna zurück, lehrte als Professor für Musikwissenschaft an der Universität, schrieb Zeitungsbeiträge und arbeitete für eine staatliche Rundfunkanstalt.
		" Lateinamerika wurde für Carpentier, gerade in einer Zeit, in der Europa von totalitären Systemen beherrscht wurde, zu einer positiven Utopie, in der sich das Wunderbare nicht nur in den Entwürfen von Künstlern, sondern in der Realität finden lässt.

		For a long time it was believed that he was born in La Habana, Cuba, where he moved immediately after birth, but following his death a birth certificate was found in Switzerland.
		Carpentier was struggling with cancer as he completed his final novel and he died in Paris on April 24, 1980.

	Lecture: Alejo Carpentier, El reino de este mundo
		Carpentier’s El reino de este mundo actually ties into a number of the themes we were dealing with under the ‘Nation and Narration’ topic, and so if we forget the thematic divisions for a bit, I think El reino de este mundo might provide a useful link across these areas.
		Carpentier also ponders the dichotomy we have seen examined throughout many of the texts previously studied this term: what is ‘civilisation’, what is ‘barbarism’, what is European, and what is autochthonously American, in the space of post-conquest Latin America.
		Carpentier’s desires are those of the Surrealists he criticises, and indeed if from this perspective we return to the prologue it can easily be seen as a criticism of the inadequacy of their method rather than the search itself – he simply finds in America the perfect means of subverting the dominance of Western reason.

		Carpentier arrives at an understanding of the Latin American reality which is articulated through his extraordinary oeuvres, a collection rich in themes and covering an extensive range of cerebral commentaries on music, art, architecture, politics, literature, folklore and even cuisine.
		Carpentier's ideas are a source of inspiration in numerous domains, architectural criticism included: in several of his essays and novels he often addresses, describes and analyses architecture in a highly suggestive and imaginative prose.
		For instance, Carpentier's architectural reading of Havana in his essay "La ciudad de las columnas" ("The City of Columns")(4), is a timeless source of reflection not only on the formal aspects of the Colonial city but on the many cultural aspects that converge on any architectural act.

		Carpentier's message is transformed as follows into an admonition directed against the idealizers: Leave go the tricks of the salon, come to live the delirious reality of the magic Americas, come to submerge yourselves in the new fl saving legend.
		Carpentier's language rises like a cathedral in the plains, it rests or soars, it illuminates or it darkens, its jewels are blinding, it contorts and is stylized, resonates with infinite cadences, explodes in colors, or exhibits the patina of an antique painting.
		Carpentier recognizes the deceptive duality, and through the intermediary of a character, alludes to the poison of that puerile idealization, or of the superimposed symbol that could discredit the authenticity or the hero's adventure.

	ALEJO CARPENTIER: ONE OF THE GREAT 20th CENTURY FIGURES - Cuba Culture News - Havana Journal
		I also got to know Alejo for a very unusual reason which has to do with that relationship he had between what he wrote to be published in the mass media and what he wrote to be read, let’s say, slowly.
		I think Alejo is an example for journalists, for fiction writers, a moral and political example; and a great privilege for our country that he was ours, although he belonged to the whole world.
		In Casa de las Americas, when the Congress was held, we named it Alejo Carpentier’s Century, not only because it refers to the title of one of his novels but because in that century figures like Carpentier �one of the great ones that symbolizes the 20 th Century are incarnated.

	Prospectus (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
		These figures in Carpentier=s writing mark not only the third style but also a third space that intervenes between the masculine and the feminine, the fl and the white, the rich and the poor, and the European and American.
		Carpentier=s novels, as González Echevarría observes, meditate the possibilities of return and, in this regard, insularity/recogimiento posits an impossible recovery of a lost object or space that is associated with the self; and instrumentality/dispersion posits a turning away from the intervening symbolic father.
		For Carpentier, baroque writing is a fetish because it marks the displacement of the desire for totality to an endless accumulation of difference.

		Muy pocos autores establecieron una relación tan estrecha en su trabajo de escritor como Alejo Carpentier entre periodismo y ficción.

		Creo que Alejo es un ejemplo para los periodistas, para los escritores de ficción, un ejemplo moral, político, es uno de los grandes privilegios de nuestro país que haya sido nuestro, aunque perteneció al mundo entero.

		The notion of a "marvelous American reality" is the culmination of a cultural reorientation and renovation of the arts that began in the early decades of the twentieth century with such literary movements as surrealism, negritude, and indigenism.
		Carpentier's classification of New World art as essentially baroque is based on the premise that the bold use of metaphor characteristic of baroque style finds its parallel in the language of myth.
		For Harris as well as Carpentier and Glissant, the Caribbean is the geographical and cultural space where narratives of identity and difference reveal the need (and the potential) for this new vision of community.

	Paradojas estético-ideológicas en la obra de Alejo Carpentier (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
		Carpentier está, pues, trabajando simultáneamente la reconstrucción histórica en dos géneros diferentes: uno avalado por una fuerte tradición de novelas históricas; y el otro huérfano de lo que sería la tradición del “cuento histórico”.
		Carpentier conjuga, pues, ambas técnicas, pero de manera tal que la técnica de friso llega a predominar casi siempre sobre la caracterización.
		Es precisamente en esta artística paradoja inherente a la obra de Carpentier donde hay que buscar la raíz de la nueva forma de composición que lo aleja del modelo clásico de la narrativa histórica.

	Carpentier contra Carpentier. Por Gustavo Guerrero. Roberto González Echevarría, Alejo Carpentier: el peregrino en su ...
		Afortunadamente, Alejo Carpentier: el peregrino en su patria sigue siendo el libro inteligente y atrevido de un joven scholar de 34 años que, en pleno auge del posestructuralismo y la deconstrucción, supo sacar partido de lo que le ofrecían aquellas corrientes pero sin venderle el alma al diablo del sistema, la jerga y el método.
		En una era posbarthesiana y altamente crítica, Alejo Carpentier: el peregrino en su patria vino a rehabilitar de este modo las lecturas correlativas de vida y obra al situarlas en un nivel mucho más hondo e interesante: aquel donde el autor, si se me permite la redundancia, deja de ser una voz autorizada.
		Sin embargo, lo esencial es la forma en que se examina aquí la mentira como un texto más de y sobre Carpentier, un texto que merece ser leído a la luz de sus ficciones, pero que, al mismo tiempo, las ilumina de un modo novedoso y a veces insólito.

		According to Carpentier, the treatment of the strange and the presentation of reality in marvelous real artwork are two aspects that should be considered in order to differentiate the marvelous real from that of the characteristics present in the artwork of the Surrealist movement.
		Carpentier may also be stating that the Surrealists juxtaposed dream-like and realistic elements to instigate certain reactions from viewers.
		Carpentier offers Salvidor Dalí’s “The Persistence of Memory,” a painting of clocks that appear to be melting onto their surfaces (shown above), as an example of the “staged” quality found in Surrealist works.
