This work examines José Martí’s early texts where the genesis of his selfless political commitment to the Cuban anti- colonial cause can be found. Herein, it is suggested that his textual manifestations of 1869 initially resulted through eager emotional expressions highlighting irony and hatred as symbolic acts that sought to respond to the social and historical reality in which they were immersed. However, after a forced process of maturation in 1871, his criticism of colonial rule was projected more elaborately, based on the acceptance of the social order where his hatred was transformed into feelings of consternation En este trabajo se examinan los textos iniciales de José Martí en donde se puede encontrar la génesis de su abnegado activismo político con la causa anticolonial cubana. Se sugiere que las manifestaciones textuales de 1869, en un principio se establecerán a través de enérgicas expresiones emocionales donde resaltan la ironía y el odio como actos simbólicos que buscaban dar respuesta a la realidad social e histórica en la que se ve inmerso. No obstante, tras un forzado proceso de maduración en 1871 su crítica a la colonia será proyectada de una manera más elaborada a partir de su conformidad con el orden social y en donde el odio se redimensiona como un sentimiento de consternación.     Palabras claves: José Martí; textos iniciales; emociones; odio; consternación         Between hatred and consternation: emotional traces in the early writings of José Martí   This work examines José Martí’s early texts where the genesis of his selfless political commitment to the Cuban anti-colonial cause can be found. Herein, it is suggested that his textual manifestations of 1869 initially resulted through eager emotional expressions highlighting irony and hatred as symbolic acts that sought to respond to the social and historical reality in which they were immersed.
