| Sumario: | The main objective of this doctoral thesis is to analyze the contemporary literary production that has symbolically recreated the city of Valparaíso. It is proposed to study a selection of texts that includes stories, novels and a collection of poems, under the hypothesis that these writings acquire a counter-discursive category that stresses the urban image that, from the institutional framework, seeks to legitimize discourses and practices aimed at managing identity and social life by interior of the territory. For this, an analysis will be developed that contemplates critical-hermeneutical and comparative methodology, whose main theoretical basis is the concept of Urban Imaginaries. Through the dialogue of this central idea with other theoretical contributions, typologies and phenomena will be identified that, from the aesthetic and symbolic dimension of literature, articulate a heterodoxy that sustains an apocryphal city, which represents a zone of contention of meanings and unresolved conflicts. These topics are: The displacement of the port-ocean imaginary; the installation of an imaginary of the igneous type to found Valparaíso from its effective history; the protest and the malaise of the literature in the face of the processes of patrimonialization of the city; and the becoming animal as a tactic to dispute and re-signify the social space, by exposing processes of degradation and decline of the subjects that make up the imaginary of a quilter citizenry. All of the above aims to generate a critical contribution that seeks to identify and study trends, update roles and visualize the relevance of current Valparaíso literature within the territory and its local literary tradition. |
