| dc.description.abstract | Esta tesis explora un segmento representativo de la literatura latinoamericana publicada durante la segunda mitad del siglo XX. Se enfoca en reconocidos textos literarios del mexicano Carlos Fuentes y el colombiano Gabriel García Márquez. La ficción narrativa analizada se distancia del realismo convencional y se concentra principalmente en la subjetividad del ser humano mediante el despliegue de temas tales como la incertidumbre, la ambigüedad, la alienación, la incomunicación, la soledad, la angustia, la ansiedad, la nostalgia y el desencanto. Estos temas corresponden a los grandes problemas del sujeto contemporáneo y confluyen en la categoría ideológica que en este análisis se denomina con el concepto del absurdo. En base a las nociones de Albert Camus sobre el absurdo, esta tesis propone que la representación de diversas manifestaciones de la categoría del absurdo constituye un aspecto significativo en la narrativa latinoamericana publicada desde mediados del siglo XX. = This thesis explores a representative selection of Latin-American literature published during the second half of the 20th century. It focuses on well-known literary texts from two authors: Carlos Fuentes (Mexico) and the Gabriel García Márquez (Columbia). The narrative fiction analyzed here departs from conventional realism and concentrates primarily on human subjectivity through the exposition of themes such as uncertainty, ambiguity, alienation, isolation, solitude, anguish, anxiety, nostalgia, and disillusionment. These themes correlate with the greatest problems of the contemporary subject and fall within the ideological category which in this analysis is termed the concept of the absurd. Based on the work of Albert Camus regarding the absurd, this thesis proposes that the representation of diverse manifestations of this concept constitutes a significant component of Latin American narrative published since the mid-20th century. | |
