- Title
EL DELIRIO QUE VIENE DE LAS NINFAS EN LA NOVELA LATINOAMERICANA: "NADA MÁS QUE SER FELIZ".
- Authors
Rodráguez, Mario; Rodríguez, José Manuel
- Abstract
When exploring panopticism in Latin American novels, we encountered an unexpected image, that of the nymphs, an image we had not accounted for in our research. We had not looked for nymphs, a figure nor previously present in earlier readings of these novels; but those paradigmatic feminine figures in avant-garde narratives (La Maga, La Eterna, Beatriz, Brígida, Elsa) can categorically be described as nymphs. They are inseparable from aquatic and vegetal elements (like the driade Brígida in El árbol by María Luisa Bombal). They actuate through the medium of rivers, fountains, trees and flowers.
