Claves para comprender las transformaciones culturales del país Van der Linde, Carlos-Germán In thisstudy, we believe thatliterature provides enough cluesto understand the culturaltransformations of our country.The representations ofsensitivity and imaginaries of Colombian urban novels offer lines of sense to make a cultural sketch of the transformations beginning early in the XXI century. The mythical and baroque emphasis of García Márquez’s magic realism has transmuted to a more urban, minimalist and hyperrealistic tone.Despite the change,the final balance leadsto a similar output: fallen leaves, a dysphonia, a trap. This feeling of hopelessness and uprooting is repetitive in the recent novel. Insistence thatis finally representing the following cultural imaginary: Cancellation of the vital impulse (erotic) at the hands of dysphoric drive (Thanatos). En este estudio se cree que la literatura ofrece suficientes claves para comprender las transformaciones culturales de nuestro país. Las representaciones de sensibilidades e imaginarios en la novelística urbana colombiana ofrecen líneas de sentido para realizar un bosquejo cultural de los cambios finiseculares y de comienzo del siglo XXI. En Angosta (2003), de Abad Faciolince, se lee que, desde el inicio de la colonización europeizante, el desarraigo y la sensación de vacío fue el factor común.El acento mítico, telúrico o barroco del realismo mágico garciamarquiano ha trasmutado a un tono más urbano, minimalista e hiperrealista. No obstante el giro, el balance final conduce a una salida similar: una hojarasca, una disfonía, una trampa. Esta sensación de desesperanza y desarraigo es reiterativa en la novela reciente. Insistencia que finalmente está representando el siguiente imaginario cultural: la cancelación de la pulsión vital (erótica) a manos de la pulsión disfórica (tanática). 2011-06-30 2020-06-16T21:08:11Z 2020-06-16T21:08:11Z info:eu-repo/semantics/article info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion https://revistas.usantotomas.edu.co/index.php/analisis/article/view/1526 10.15332/s0120-8454.2011.0078.04 http://hdl.handle.net/11634/24453 spa https://revistas.usantotomas.edu.co/index.php/analisis/article/view/1526/1692 Derechos de autor 2011 Universidad Santo Tomás https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0/ application/pdf Universidad Santo Tomás, Bogotá, Colombia Análisis; Núm. 78 (En-Ju) (2011): Estética, arte y educación; 87-109 2145-9169 0120-8454 Analisis; No. 78 (En-Ju) (2011): Estética, arte y educación; 87-109
