    Abstract
    El reconocimiento de los derechos humanos en la narrativa latinoamericana. Sobre la base de la crítica cultural, esta tesis examina la búsqueda de los derechos humanos en los cuentos “Luvina” de Juan Rulfo, “La siesta del martes” de Gabriel García Márquez y “El ángel caído” de Cristina Peri Rossi. La hipótesis de este análisis propone que esa indagación constituye un elemento estético e ideológico fundamental en estos textos, sustentándose en tres líneas de pensamiento. Primero, la literatura es un acto socialmente simbólico y, así, intenta reinventar soluciones imaginarias de los conflictos sociales, entre los cuales se encuentra la oposición binaria de la defensa o la negación de los derechos humanos. Segundo, los derechos humanos constituyen un elemento primordial de la literatura y de la narrativa latinoamericana del siglo XX. Tercero, el reconocimiento de los derechos humanos justifica la existencia del acto literario que, en un diálogo con el complejo campo de las relaciones socioculturales, busca reconstituir simbólicamente la vida humana. = Drawing from cultural criticism, this thesis examines the form and the method in which the search for human rights is expressed in the short stories “Luvina” by Juan Rulfo, “Tuesday Siesta” by Gabriel García Márquez, and “Fallen Angel” by Cristina Peri Rossi. This analysis proposes that the human rights driven impulse constitutes a fundamental aesthetic and ideological element in the narrated worlds of the indicated texts and is sustained on three lines of thought. First, literature is a socially symbolic act and therefore attempts to reinvent hypothetical solutions to social conflicts, in which the binary opposition between the defense and negation of human rights is found. Second, human rights constitute a primordial element of all literature, particularly in 20th century Latin American narratives. Third, the recognition of human rights justifies the very existence of the literary act which, in the complex field of sociocultural relations, attempts to symbolically recreate human life.
