| Content | La literatura de irrealidad, aquella cuyos mundos representados se alejan de las mímesis realistas y cuyas reglas de funcionamiento difieren de las del mundo extratextual (desde maneras sutiles hasta la maravilla absoluta), no contó con el prestigio académico que merece sino hasta el siglo XX. Esta mal llamada "literatura menor" ha sido una constante literaria en la América hispanohablante desde la invasión europea, creando una tradición que abreva tanto de la oralidad indígena como de la literatura occidental y que se consolidó como "literatura culta" gracias a la producción de algunos de las y los escritoras y escritores más prestigiosos de la lengua española. En este seminario haremos un repaso por algunas de las formas más usuales de irrealidad en Hispanoamérica, como son lo fantástico, el horror, la ciencia ficción, la maravilla, el cuento de fantasmas, etc., y analizaremos una selección de relatos modernos y contemporáneos representativa de la amplia variedad que tiene este continente. |
| Learning objectives | Familiarizarse y entender las técnicas narrativas de la llamada "nueva novela hispanoamericana"; descrifrar las claves lingüísticas de las novelas escogidas; adquirir un conocimiento activo de algunos autores y autoras de la ficción hispanoamericana. |
