A FIGURAÇÃO DA IDENTIDADE LATINO-AMERICANA EM CEM ANOS DE SOLIDÃO

Abstract

This article aims to carry out an analysis of the greatest work of the Colombian writer Gabriel Garcia Márquez, One Hundred Years of Solitude. Given the extreme complexity of the work and due to the different themes addressed by the author discussed, make a cut for analysis purposes. Thus, our objective was to try to understand how the novelist literally represented issues related to the construction of Latin American identity. From a methodological point of view, we use the dialectical method, as it allows us to understand the reciprocally mediated relationship between the subject who creates the work and the empirical world in which he is inserted, having the work of art as the scheme of this relationship. As a result of this analysis, we were able to understand that the solitude present in the title of the work is deeply related to the sense of identity represented by the novelist, thus not having a negative meaning.
