  5. However, it is in the realm of what magical realism does that Warnes finds fault with Faris’s approach. He sees in her development of magical realism’s “cultural work,” an abandonment of the critical precision used in defining the term (Warnes10). In its place, Warnes argues Faris uses a too sweeping argument when she states that magical realism performs a “remystification of narrative” where the western reader is “enchanted” and finds “a kind of shamanistic narrative healing” which fulfills “a manifestation of a personal cultural need for a sense of contact with cosmic forces” thus providing a “curative voice” and a “healing fiction” (Warnes10 quoting Faris). While admitting some magical-realist fiction may have this quality (he uses Laura Esquival’sComo aguapara chocolate as an example), Warnes does not agree with Faris’s conclusion which he summarizes thus: “all magical realism, regardless of context or authorial intention, necessarily play these roles because of its form” (Warnes10). Said simply, according to Warnes, Faris reached this errant and over-encompassing conclusion by no longer keeping her arguments within a historical and textual critical context which had proved invaluable in the early part of her study.

  6. Over several years Carpentier published various pieces engaging both linear and cyclical notions of history. In El reino de estemundolinear history forms the backdrop to the narration while the cyclical, particularly the protagonist’s repeated enslavement and the multiple slave revolts, exercises greater influence over the characters’ lives. Within a narration containing these alternative approaches to history, it is no coincidence that Carpentier placed in the novel’s exact midpoint a moment of carnival when Con el gobierno de Rochambeau los últimos propietarios de la lanura, perdida la esperanza de volver a bienestar de antaño, se entregaron a una vasta orgía sin coto ni tregua. Nadie hacía caso a los relojes, ni las noches terminaban porque hubiera amanecido. (Carpentier70) It is as if the novel’s structure is suggesting that the space located in the middle of the linear and the cyclical is one of chaos where time no longer matters. Yet time does matter, and very much so for Carpentier who worked to expand the conception of history as a linear progression to also make room for an alternative notion of cycles where certain events, at their core, are related to that which have happened before with only the superficial details changing. El reino de estemundo, like “Historia de lunas” before it, seems to suggest primacy for the cyclical take on history as it relegates the linear to an influential, but background role. With this Carpentier is promoting the long ignored Afro-Caribbean culture as a genuine voice and his engagement with their historical worldview is a vehicle through which his fiction sets the scene for the elucidation of, what was for Carpentier, an Afro-Cuban voice.
