• W2737673669 abstract "The thesis constitutes a study of aspects of power andhistory in the novels Yo el Supremo by Augusto Roa Bastos, El Recurso delMetodo by Alejo Carpentier and El Otono del Patriarca by Gabriel GarciaMarquez. The first part (chapters 1 and 2) presents an analysis of how theidea of power appears in the narrative, by comparing the three works. Thesecond part (chapters 3, 4 and 5) examines the notion of history in thenovels, yet each chapter deals mainly with one of the books mentioned. Chapter 1 investigates the relation between the structure ofpower and patterns of dependency experienced by the countries described inthe novels. It gives evidence of contrasts in the dictators' actions. Whilethe Primer Magistrado and the Patriarca merely want to retain their personalpower, even if this results in the growing dependency of their nations onforeign powers, El Supremo uses his power precisely to avoid the economicsubordination of Paraguay, whose sovereignty suffered continuous menace. Chapter 2 examines three aspects of power. The first is astudy of the dictators' solitude and shows that it represents the immediateconsequence of despotism, being the price of power. The second is about therole of the double, revealing that he serves to intensify the accumulationof power. And the third aspect is the analysis of how the dictators maintaintheir power through persistent violence. Chapter 3 analyses Carpentier's use of history in his works,particularly in El Recurso del Metodo. His worldview is revealed in thedevelopment of his works through failed revolutions. However, this fact doesnot indicate pessimism, as hope of effective change appears through thecharacter of the Student. The other section compares the transformationsoccurring in the historical epoch and their fictional correlation. Yet, theauthor presents history in a literary way through the use of humour.Chapter 4 discusses history in El Otono del Patriarca. Thestudy focuses upon the lack of historical consciousness in Garcia Marquez’scharacters, and also in some of Carpentier's. In both is established thefailure to understand history as a process, due especially to the repressionof past memories and the false perspective of circular time. The chapterstresses, however, that this is the characters' view, not the authors'. Chapter 5 studies Yo el Supremo in a historical perspective.The novel is a counter-history of Paraguay showing that the official version of history is frequently warped by ideology. Thus, the chapter compares Roa Bastos's view on EI Supremo to the historians'. It also shows the relation between past, present and future which establishes the series of necessary anachronisms (according to Hegel) characterizing the narrative, and revealing the author's dialectical world vision." @default.
