- Title
Unos cuantos vampiros colombianos.
- Authors
Burgos López, Campo Ricardo
- Abstract
This article examines how vampires are depicted in four recent literary works by Colombian authors. It is divided in four sections. The first section proposes a set of common characteristics that appear in different depictions of vampires. This section also reflects on the transformations that these characters have suffered in western literary works during the past two centuries. The second section analyzes the way in which these depictions of vampires relate to the concepts of eros and agape. The third section examines the representation of vampires in Fernando Romero Loaiza's "Crónicas de vampiros" (1997), Andres García's short story "Los ojos de la noche" (2009), and Carolina Andujar's novels "Vampyr" (2009) and "Vajda, príncipe inmortal" (2012). The last section contains a set of conclusions.
