For Norton Contreras Robledo Summary: I would like to be an alchemist
, uniting the ancient letters, organize, build foundations for future gaps in senseless mazes and values leaf litter. At first all was darkness, darkness. Brought the light verb. The moving words of life, are wheels of history. Whenever I look with a double look. The whole history of man could be reduced to relationships between words and thought, legends, tales, taboos and myths. In this essay I propose to address some aspects of the literature. Those who perhaps are less aware. Because sometimes frequent the reality without being surprised or challenged by it. I dig the words low buried the remains of dead stars. * (1)
The magic of literature
Each literary glimpse the possibility of creating or reinventing the world surrounding
. This is where the essence of literature, its magic. In a literary work are sometimes expressed as real and magic, because in the daily lives of people and people with everyday magic mix. Things happen on the border that separates the real from the fantastic is subtle and diffuse. So blurred that makes us think that the barrier between these realities do not exist, that reality is so extraordinary and fantastic that you can give the feeling of unreality.
The magic of literature is that our company from the early years of life and every last one of them. And through its genres we see the reality around us or take us to unknown lands, to remote countries, planets and solar systems. It takes us through time and space to meet people from the past or the future looming behind the subtle shades of the narrative. Experiences and sensibilities
What a beautiful and wonderful was in my childhood, in the town of Canela, living in the woods and learned to read. The literature had the magic to open doors that allowed me to reach places. Travel to remote locations could have ever imagined. I remember like it was yesterday that sitting under the shade of a tree, while the sheep and goats were grazing, I with a book in my hands transported to distant places. Nature, its colors, smells, tastes, people. Their lives, their jobs, appeared before me with new meaning. My eyes saw it differently, I felt them otherwise. Therein lies the magic of literature to see and feel the life, people and nature with a double look. * (2)
The concept of ideology in literature
When we read a literary work there is a tendency to think that the work is above any ideological concept. Regardless of the many definitions in the social sciences gives the ideology false consciousness, vision concerned, an integral part of social consciousness in connection with different social class interests, economic and political interests. The concept of ideology in a literary work is expressed as the conception of reality from a perspective particular. The ideological function in a literary work is evident in the eagerness to have the writer to give the vision, that is how he has to see and interpret the surrounding world. In this context we could say that in a literary work is not specific ideas but in the procedures by which we analyze the facts, life and social development.
ideological function is a condition present in all literary forms: poetry book, Spain in the heart of Pablo Neruda, a hymn to the glories of the people in the war, which exposed the horrors of the English Civil War, and Republican position, is a beautiful collection of poems. This book shows his face combatant poet and idealist. The first edition, corresponding to Santiago de Chile Ediciones Ercilla, 1937. It was reprinted for the first time in Spain by the Commissariat of the Army of the East, literary editions. Pablo Neruda's Canto General Paradigm of a deep identity between the aesthetic and social, nurtured by the Latin American revolutionary fervor, Canto general, written between 1938 and 1949 and published privately in 1950, is one of the highest expressions in the vast work of Pablo Neruda (Chile, 1904-1973). In the poetry of Walt Whitman, Leaves of Grass, published in 1855, unanimously considered the most North American poet, Walt Whitman (1819-1892) is the supreme singer of I and nature, body and soul, of the equality of men and women, fraternity and democracy. In novels, The Grapes of Wrath by John Steinbeck, the subject depicted in this novel is current with regard to immigration and labor exploitation. John Steinbeck, the author, lived for two years a life of deprivation similar to those described in the work, being a humble farmer. With this experience and with a sincere social conscience, the writer played this testimony in the midst of the worst days of U.S. in its history, the Great Depression. Mr Joad and his family are forced to abandon all they have, your miserable, dusty farm in the arid zone of Dust Bowl, Oklahoma.
hoping to find work, set sail to the promised land, California, where it is rumored that there is great need for laborers. As they approach they discover the harsh reality, exhausting days, social rejection, inhumane conditions and meager wages. Joad (son), aware of this reality, he began his campaign to vindicate the rights of workers. Memory
House of the Dead FM Dostoevsky was arrested in 1849 and sentenced to hard labor in Siberia because he frequented anarchist circles close to socialism. From this experience emerged in jail Memory House of the Dead (1862) seminal work both in his literary career as vital.
literature and the world around
Conclusion:
said at the outset that in every literary work is seen the possibility of creating or reinventing the surrounding world. This is where the essence of literature, its magic. The literature is a carrier of recreation identified with the essence of every being, carrier of emotions, sensations. In the word is the magic of being agency of communication between the children of the tower of Babel. Scattered in different geographical, social, economic and political in different languages. The essence of literature is its enormous evocative power and creative. His ability to not only stay, but "be", to construct possible worlds. And to bear witness to a world in which millions of men, women and children of so-called third world countries, people without access to education, culture, health and welfare, see photos, movies or on television, consumerism and wealth in developed countries, they observe, feel or guess the waste of natural resources such as electricity, water and food. To those millions of people find it amazing what her eyes. They do not have drinking water and millions of them die of hunger. Consumerism, as real, everyday for people in developed countries, appears as something divine, surreal and magical in the eyes of children, women and men convicted of rich countries. The same countries that have lost their sense of wonder and outrage at the terrible inequalities. The words that have been in if the ideas of a better world is possible acts can become the eyes and ears of millions who are still struggling with that belief, that illusion.
literature brings the feelings that move the world, words of love and passion, words of anger and tenderness. Bring the times of love and war. It is the memory of old times. And it reminds us that the present time is the unfinished chapter of the past and vague prelude to the future. And the words that have not yet been told, will be those that will say one day. When words are censored, they are illegal in any place, any space, waiting, waiting, selecting, organizing, raising consciousness to a new day. Literature is rebuilding the moments, gestures, actions. While there is life, is the literature written words. Literature is the seed in the sand, mountains, oceans, fields and towns. Born every day, every morning, going toward life, toward people. As the light day, time and space. * (3)
