ESCOBAR-TRUJILLO, María Adelaida. From Food to Poetry: Cuban Identity in Paradiso by José Lezama Lima. perifrasis. rev.lit.teor.crit. [online]. 2012, vol.3, n.5, pp.65-80. ISSN 2145-8987.

Starting from works related to Cuban identity in Paradiso from José Lezama Lima, this paper will contribute to the study of the concept of transculturation by means of lands-cape and food that are presented as images used to build the Cuban identity in the novel. The paper will also establish a relationship between food and poetry based on the preparation, transformation and presentation of both, ingredients and words. The paper is divided in three sections: the primary vegetal products, food elaboration and food presentations through gastronomic banquets.

Keywords : Transculturation; Cuban identity; Paradiso; food; poetry.
