La participación de la obra literaria en la refiguración de concepciones políticas actuales. El caso de Guayacanal (2019) del escritor William Ospina

Abstract

The following research aims to unveil the way in which literature begins to configure a series of conceptions directly related to the social context in which it is gestated. To this end, it addresses the specific case of the novel Guayacanal (2019) by writer William Ospina based on one of the topics that at the time of its publication was at the center of public debate: the peace agreements with the FARC guerrillas. The above, by means of two analytical moments punctually delimited: the first one, dedicated to identify the way in which the work is articulated with a series of political processes in development, is in charge of the Discourse Analysis, specifically from the reflection on rhetoric and argumentation carried out by Chaim Perelman and the deepening carried out by Jean Claud Anscombre in his study on topoi; from which we can begin to relate the discursive dynamics that the work shares with its context of production and reproduction concerning the process of symbolic construction of social reality. The second seeks to approach the conceptual configuration present in the representation of the past, based on the hermeneutic postulates that Paul Ricoeur makes regarding the configuration process - "triple mimesis"- and the history-narration relationship. This in order to highlight the importance of (literary) narration in the construction of social reality and, at the same time, to observe in a general way the participation (conscious or not) of the Colombian writer in the social problems that occur to him/her.
