"El cielo de Lima" de Juan Gómez Bárcena: su poética de la ficción

Tomando como marco teórico la pragmática literaria y tras delimitar los conceptos de ficción y de poética y los diferentes estilos de narrar, se aborda la investigación de la poética subyacente en esta novela, a través del análisis del narrador, los personajes, el espacio y el tiempo; descubriendo como su rasgo más característico una estructura de mundos interactuantes que configuran un espejo múltiple del pacto de ficción.

Ficción y realidad en "Les Bienveillantes" de Jonathan Littell

En el presente trabajo se analiza "Les Bienveillantes", novela que ficciona las memorias atormentadas de un nazi. A través de su lectura se viaja a los infiernos del holocausto, de la guerra y de una conciencia sin anclajes éticos ni estéticos, narrados por una mente perversa que apenas se conmueve ante las atrocidades más profundas. Tras contrastar a lo largo de su trama ficción y realidad, se destaca, a la luz de los debates sobre la reescritura de la Historia, la operatividad de esta novela para captar y transmitir la verdad de lo ocurrido favoreciendo de ese modo el desarrollo de una conciencia responsable y la no repetición de los hechos.

Propuesta de un análisis metafórico-poético en una novela de ciencia ficción: 2001, una odisea del espacio

The aim of this doctoral thesis is to analyse both the text (production) and the set of cognition processes which facilitate the understanding of a masterpiece of Science Fiction: 2001, A Space Odyssey from a new perspective. Unlike other literary theories, texts in cognitive poetics (i.e. Structuralism, Generative Linguistics, Literary Criticism) are projected on the readerś minds by means of cognitive procedures. Cognitive poetics uses tools of cognitive science in order to understand literature (and in this particular case, Science Fiction). This has lead to a great change in our understanding of texts, literary and otherwise. This literary analysis was carried out on the Science Fiction genre based on the assumptions of cognitive poetics. Due to the peculiar kind of subjects touched upon by this genre, it has been theorised that the type of metaphor used for both its creation and style are rather different from other genres. Science Fiction coincides with other genres of writing in that it contains its own specific ways of providing language with a meaning while making it so innovative that many literary theories point out that it is written differently or that it is necessary to possess single reading codes in order to be fully understood. The methodology used for this thesis required a metaphorical basic and poetic conceptual analysis according to the poetical metaphor theory developed by Lakoff and Turner (1989). The aim of this metaphorical study is to analyse the basic and conceptual structure of 2001, A Space Odyssey by A. C. Clarke. The parameters of literary conceptualization of Science Fiction established by Peter Stockwell in his Poetics of Science Fiction (2000) were also applied in order to analyse this novel. The ICMs (Idealised Cognitive Models) were then examined to determine the presence of isomorphism related to the production level...
