Boom i McOndo : zniewolenie i emancypacja nowej prozy hispanoamerykańskiej

Abstract

Praca "Boom i McOndo. Zniewolenie i emancypacja nowej prozy hispanoamerykańskiej" jest opisem i zestawieniem w ujęciu porównawczym dwóch okresów literackich w historii literatur Ameryki Łacińskiej drugiej połowy XX w. Korzystając z najnowszych osiągnięć kulturowej teorii literatury oraz komparatystyki kulturowej, optyka badawcza zostaje skierowana zarówno na analizę tekstu literackiego, jak i szerokiego kontekstu historycznego, politycznego, społecznego, w jakim ten funkcjonuje, co pozwala jednocześnie ukazać złożoność i wielowymiarowość omawianych zagadnień. Dodatkowo uwaga zostaje zwrócona na współczesne mechanizmy wpływające na przepływ i promocję dóbr kulturalnych - w tym przypadku literatury - rolę tak zwanych mediatorów, którymi mogą być zarówno instytucje, jak i osoby indywidualne, a także na proces tworzenia się pola kulturowego i sposób gospodarowania kapitałem symbolicznym, co stanowi nieuchronne nawiązanie do socjologicznego spojrzenia na literaturę. Na koniec podniesiony zostaje problem pokoleniowości, adekwatny jako kwestia do rozpatrzenia w odniesieniu do pisarzy boomu i McOndo.

This work aims to present the look at the new spanish-language prose written in Latin America in the second half of the twentieth century. The fact that from the 60s of the twentieth century Latin American literature has gained a new quality is undeniable, and the culmination of these changes is to give - in the period from 1967 to 2010 - five Nobel literature prizes to its writers and poets. As the Latin American Boom, however, did not come out of nowhere, its worth to trace the literary and historical process that led to it and then look at the same phenomenon applying as far as possible dimension, bearing in mind the different contexts: the historical, political and social, in which first arose, then was constituted, until gradually has expired. This also sets itself the objective of this paper. The same is the case of McOndo, whose origins must be sought as a consequence of Boom, as well as in the subsequent changes of the literature written in Latin America. Therefore, keeping the chronological order, the present analysis concerns almost the entire twentieth-century Latin American fiction - the Boom and McOndo as the central locations - which formation and evolution are always bound, and its quality and diversity will enable the adoption of complementary research perspective. Bearing in the mind all those assumptions, the optimal rule for organizing our considerations can be regarded Contemporary Cultural Studies which, as a research method, allows the use the right tools to the analysis of not only text, but also to its context. This will show the complexity and multidimensionality of the issues that are under consideration. In addition, the attention will be focused on the contemporary mechanisms affecting the flow and promotions of cultural property - in this case, literature - the role of the so-called mediators, which can be both institutions and individuals, as well as the formation of the cultural field and the way the symbolic capital management, which is the inevitable reference to the sociological perspective on literature. At the end of the issue, there is raised a point of literary generation, adequate as a matter for consideration in relation to the Boom and McOndo writers.
