SILVA, Guadalupe. The Laughing Avant-Garde. Cacharro(s) Journal (2003-2005). perifrasis. rev.lit.teor.crit. [online]. 2023, vol.14, n.30, pp.28-46.  Epub 26-Set-2023. ISSN 2145-8987.  https://doi.org/10.25025/perifrasis202314.30.02.

Cacharro(s) magazine has recently begun to gain the interest it deserves as one of the first digital publications in Cuba. A continuation of the Diáspora(s) project, Cacharro(s) shared with it its avant-garde vocation and its "samizdat" status. In this article I approach this publication from the point of view of its political use of humor. I start with a preliminary definition of the comic in repressive contexts as it has been proposed from dis-sident positions in Cuba; then I place Cacharro(s) magazine in the context of opposition publications at the turn of the century, and finally I analyze the use of humor in the magazine, taking as an object some cover illustrations and some reflections on laughter as a political attitude.

Palavras-chave : Cacharro(s); Diáspora(s); journals; avant-garde; humor; literature; 21st century; Cuba.
