| description | The article portraits the ever more realistic, negative and even sordid vision of the modern city found in many literary works, in comparison with the positive, idealist and aseptic image of the same places mostly provided by architects and urbanplanners in their theoretical discourses. Thus, the author callsfor all professionals involved in the design and development of urban settlements to take into account the more human, real and sensitive vision that writers offer about the urban phenomena when analyzing and rationalizing the city. The article focuses on modern novels and cities, and encompasses a time period from the early eighteen century to the present day. As a final point, after examining the relation between Cityand Literature, the author concludes that for its inhabitants the modern city has been, in general, unlivable. |

Ciudad y literatura (relación) urbanismo y novela siglo XVIII – XXI The article portraits the ever more realistic, negative and even sordid vision of the modern city found in many literary works, in comparison with the positive, idealist and aseptic image of the same places mostly provided by architects and urbanplanners in their theoretical discourses. Thus, the author callsfor all professionals involved in the design and development of urban settlements to take into account the more human, real and sensitive vision that writers offer about the urban phenomena when analyzing and rationalizing the city. The article focuses on modern novels and cities, and encompasses a time period from the early eighteen century to the present day. As a final point, after examining the relation between Cityand Literature, the author concludes that for its inhabitants the modern city has been, in general, unlivable. El artículo destaca la muy frecuente visión realista, negativa e incluso sórdida de las ciudades modernas que se encuentra en muchas obras literarias, en contraposición a la imagen positiva, idealista y aséptica de las mismas ciudades que suelen presentar los arquitectos y los urbanistas en sus documentos teóricos. De esta manera, el autor hace un llamado a los profesionales que diseñan y planifican las ciudades para que tengan en cuenta en sus análisis y teorizaciones la visión humana, real y sensible que los escritores hacen del fenómeno urbano. El artículo se centra en las ciudades y en las novelas modernas, y aborda un período que se inicia en el siglo XVIII y finaliza en nuestros días. El autor concluye, a partir del análisis de la relación Ciudad/Literatura, el hecho de que las ciudades modernas han sido para sus habitantes, sobre todo, invivibles. 2021-11-10T00:59:58Z 2021-11-10T00:59:58Z 2010-12-14 Artículo revisado por pares info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion http://purl.org/coar/resource_type/c_2df8fbb1 info:eu-repo/semantics/article http://purl.org/coar/version/c_970fb48d4fbd8a85 http://revistas.uan.edu.co/index.php/nodo/article/view/34 http://repositorio.uan.edu.co/handle/123456789/5524 spa http://revistas.uan.edu.co/index.php/nodo/article/view/34/26 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 2346-092X 1909-3888 REVISTA NODO; Vol. 4 Núm. 8 (2010); 59 - 72 |
