This paper proposes an examination of essays and literary criticism in Cuba over the past years, zones that were neglected by the meta-critical contemporary analysis in the cultural panorama of the Island. I intend to point out the status of opinions on this activity, the problematics that hinder its development and the actions undertaken by the Criterios Theoretical Cultural Center of Havana, and his founder Desiderio Navarro. Likewise, I expose the contradictions between the intellectuals of the national culture in relation to the theme and the existent possibilities to revert this situation in an immediate future.
