description This contribution carries out a review of the presence of the Abakuá society in Cuban literature and cinema linked to crime fiction. This literary genre was acquiring consistency within Cuban literature during 20th century and it has become one of the hallmarks of the current Cuban narrative. Thus, and starting from the analysis of the cases of the film La hija del policía o Entre los ñáñigos [1917] and of the novel Fantoches 1926, attention is also paid to the 1967 short-stories book ¼ fambá and 19 stories more, by writer Gerardo del Valle (1898-1973). It is thus appreciated the evolution in the treatment of the Abakuá characters in the different chronological moments, especially in relation to their connection with crime and violence.

Esta contribución lleva a cabo una revisión de la presencia de la sociedad abakuá en la literatura y el cine cubanos vinculados con la ficción criminal. Este género literario fue adquiriendo consistencia dentro de las letras de la Isla durante el siglo XX hasta convertirse en una de las señas de identidad de la narrativa cubana actual. Así pues, y partiendo de la revisión de los casos de la película La hija del policía o Entre los ñáñigos [1917] y de la novela Fantoches 1926, se presta además atención al libro de relatos ¼ fambá y 19 cuentos más de 1967, del escritor Gerardo del Valle (1898-1973). Se aprecia así la evolución en el tratamiento de los personajes abakuás en los distintos momentos cronológicos especialmente en lo tocante a su vinculación con el crimen y la violencia. 2019-05-29 2022-03-18T16:20:55Z 2022-03-18T16:20:55Z info:eu-repo/semantics/article info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion https://periodicos.fclar.unesp.br/letras/article/view/11988 http://biblioteca-repositorio.clacso.edu.ar/handle/CLACSO/61872 spa https://periodicos.fclar.unesp.br/letras/article/view/11988/8294 Copyright (c) 2019 Revista de Letras application/pdf Revista de Letras Revista de Letras Revista de Letras; Vol. 58 No. 1 (2018): Dossiê “Construções da identidade: mitologias na literatura latino-americana” Revista de Letras; v. 58 n. 1 (2018): Dossiê “Construções da identidade: mitologias na literatura latino-americana” 1981-7886 0101-3505
