The existential narrative of Mario vargas llosa, Requiem for the victims in Perú

Abstract

The literary discourse commits itself under the perspective of the 21st century to literary observation and artistic justification of the rebellion of Mario Vargas Llosa as a cosmopolitan writer and impeccable opponent of political violence and national and international terrorism against every repression, humiliation and anti-human violation. This scenario offers clear reminiscences in the Marxist philosophy of the French left, the existentialist spirit of Sartre and Marcuse and the suggestive naturalism of Flaubert. The work sheds light on the literary metamorphosis of authorship under the “fire” of the revolution, synonymous with the desired democratic transformation of the country. The reason is the antagonistic Latin reality where political, economic, social and cultural misery prevails. he selected works symbolically represent the beginning (The city and the dogs) and the end (“Lituma in the Andes”) of the “boom”, within the framework of the Latin American sociocultural, literary and aesthetic movement of the 1960s. Vargas Llosa will be analyzed as a pioneer of the structural transfer from Plato's mimetic approach to aesthetic poiesis, as the production of true artistic values. The research will deal with the contradictory duality, without hesitation, of the artistic subjects that simultaneously synchronize the indigenous macrocosm populated by the Inca mountains and the Lima bourgeois macrocosm. This cosmic confrontation of antagonistic stories and cultures will become a reality in the writer's narrative through the symbolic past and the psychological realism of the present. This, to formalize the true Peruvian experimental novel, and the return to the next world, viewed with irony and humor.
