Temporality, Representation and Memory in María Luisa Bombal´s La amortajada
Keywords:
temporality, representation, literary discourse, imaginaryAbstract
This paper deals with the representation of time and memory in La amortajada (1938) by María Luisa Bombal. At the same time, we inquire certain elements of representation which are referential aspects of the text that sustain meanings in opposition to the modernity of the aesthetic resources developed by the author. Our purpose is to show, in the literary text, the existence of apparent contractions in the metaphysical conception of reality. It is in this sense that the text written by Bombal is not an exception and much less a text that could be looked down upon considering the hermeneutical options that it suggests.
This deeply vocative text shows, at the same time, how literary and cultural imaginaries with complicated roots that link the Latin American continent with Europe are deployed in Latin America.
