SANCHEZ, Yansy. CULTURAL POLICIES AS A SECOND LEVEL OF DETERMINANTS FOR THE LEGITIMATION OF LITERARY GENERATIONS. Revista Chakiñan [online]. 2023, n.19, pp.236-250. ISSN 2550-6722.  https://doi.org/10.37135/chk.002.19.14.

The study of literary generations is often biased by the preconditions of homology that are assumed to consider them. They are counted among them as main: the criterion of contemporaneity, belonging to the same historical social frame and the aesthetic characteristics that link its members. However, while these are binding criteria, the specific properties of the literary field should not be dismissed. Precisely, the objective of this article is to reveal, from these properties, the determinants that have conditioned in the revolutionary period (1959 to the present) the expression of the literary generations. These are based on cultural policies and operate on literary production through benefits and restrictions. To defend this position, it was necessary to use the logical historical method, which allowed us to verify how the change in cultural policies has mediated the literary productions of generations of poets. All this has yielded as the main result for the Cuban context, that the retranslation of external events linked to the economic crisis has resulted in greater flexibility that has impacted the structure of the literary field in favor of writers.

Keywords : literary generations; second level of determinants; specific properties of the literary field; literary field; cultural policies.
