KUTASY, Mercédesz. From anecdote to joke: condensation exercises in Guillermo Cabrera Infante's narrative. Cuad. CILHA [online]. 2022, vol.23, n.1, pp.74-89.  Epub 08-Ago-2022. ISSN 1852-9615.  http://dx.doi.org/10.48162/rev.34.040.

In the study, two short texts by Guillermo Cabrera Infante are observed -a fragment of “La casa de los espejos ” from Tres tristes tigres and the dialogue entitled “La habanera tú” from Exorcismos de esti(l)o- to analyze the various manifestations of the game. In the analysis, Jorge Mañach's essay, Indagación del choteo, is used, and it reflects on the possibilities of caricature from a distance. It also focuses on the myth of Narcissus and Eco, the visual and the sound, when observing how humor is built through the playful, in a long or short version, through contrasts and symmetries, antagonisms and parodic rewritings and satirical.

Palabras clave : Satire; Myth; Choteo; Abbreviation.
