PINO, Mirian. El Cutis Patrio by Eduardo Espina: Neobaroque Poetics and Fable of National Identity. Tóp. Sem [online]. 2009, n.21, pp.143-162. ISSN 2594-0619.

This essay takes as a starting point El Cutis Patrio (2006), the latest published work of the Uruguayan poet Eduardo Espina, who is considered one of the most representative figures of continental neobaroque. The text is analyzed according to the Bakhtinian categories of polyphony and the degrees of carnivalesque nuances that the work carries in a narrow and polemic interrelation between the chronotope homeland and national identity.
