Resumen
Como una muestra de las propuestas estéticas, literarias e identitarias que ofrece
la “nueva novela histórica” de Centroamérica, se pretende hacer una lectura
de la novela Laberintos de orgullo, de la escritora panameña Rosa María Britton.
Se quiere mostrar los rasgos propios de la nueva novela histórica centroamericana,
tanto como las singularidades de la escritura de la región, en relación con
la construcción de las identidades, en un contexto reconocido como poblado
de diversidades. Cómo piensan y plasman los escritores centroamericanos sus
autoimágenes en la “nueva novela histórica”, cómo han ideado su historia, sus
culturas y sus signos, de qué forman plantean la relación entre la historia y la
ficción, es el problema que busca abordar el presente estudio.
As a simple of the aesthetic, literary and identity proposals offered by the “new historical novel” of Central America, the purpose of this paper is to give a particular reading to the novel Laberintos de orgullo, (Labyrinths of Pride) by the Panamanian writer Rosa María Britton. The objective is to show the particular features of the new Central American historical novel, as well as the singularities of the region’s writing in connection to the construction of identities in a context known to be diverse. How the writers think and put into writing their self-images in the “new historical novel”, how they have pictured their history, cultures and symbols, in which ways they explicit the relation between history and fiction is the main issue this study aims to approach.
