| description | Juan Gabriel Vásquez’s narrative approaches the 20th century political Colombian history. He tracks the latent past that he transforms into a vehement desire of prominent figures to forget the painful past, and abolish what they have lived. This characteristic is defined as counter memory, a hermeneutic term. The counter-image corresponds to the different negative aspects that people show. Both novels in this study, “The sound of things falling” and “The reputations” become two possible interpretations of the official history. The author studies in depth the past and the need to understand it. As a consequence, the characters find themselves in unexpected contexts in diverse situations. |

Juan Gabriel Vásquez en su narrativa aborda la historia política colombiana del siglo XX a través de un rastreo de un pasado latente que él transforma en un deseo vehemente de los personajes por no recordar un pasado doloroso, abolir lo vivido, lo cual en términos hermenéuticos se denomina antimemoria. La Contra imagen corresponde a las diferentes facetas y por lo general negativas que se perciben en las personas. Las dos novelas de estudio, El ruido de las cosas al caer y Las reputaciones, se convierten en otras posibles interpretaciones de una historia oficial. El autor profundiza en temas como la indagación reiterativa del pasado y la infinita necesidad de comprenderlo, esto conlleva a cambios inesperados en los diversos contextos en los que se desenvuelven sus personajes. 2021-11-10T00:51:55Z 2021-11-10T00:51:55Z 2015-06-30 info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion http://purl.org/coar/resource_type/c_6501 info:eu-repo/semantics/article http://purl.org/coar/version/c_970fb48d4fbd8a85 http://revistas.uan.edu.co/index.php/papeles/article/view/310 http://repositorio.uan.edu.co/handle/123456789/5292 spa http://revistas.uan.edu.co/index.php/papeles/article/view/310/256 Acceso abierto Attribution-NonCommercial-ShareAlike 4.0 International (CC BY-NC-SA 4.0) https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-sa/4.0/ info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess http://purl.org/coar/access_right/c_abf2 application/pdf Universidad Antonio Nariño 2346-0911 0123-0670 PAPELES; Vol. 6 No. 12-13 (2015); 72-77 PAPELES; Vol. 6 Núm. 12-13 (2015); 72-77 |
