Learning outcomes
This course provides a space for students to reflect on the representation of historical-social reality in 20th century Hispanic prose (particularly in the Mexican novel). Inspiration comes from, among other things, Aristotle's presupposition for a poetic attitude in which the poet's task is not to depict what actually happened, but what could have happened and presumably should have happened, Ric? Ur's reflections on the ethico-mythical core of cultures, interpreting specific events within a broader framework in an attempt to arrive at their universal meaning, White's pointing out the necessity of a subjective poetic prefiguration of a particular historical field and the modalities of historical imagination, or Doležel's emphasis on the distinction between possible fictional worlds (i.e. "creations of poiesis" or "imaginary alternatives to the actual world") and possible historical worlds (associated with noesis, i.e. "texts of constatives").
