La representación del pensamiento naciente a través del monólogo interior en Entre Marx y una mujer desnuda y Ciudad de invierno

Abstract

The use of the stream of consciousness tries to replicate the thinking in its nascent state. It means, expose the ideas froma a character, in an introspective way, that, generally, omits the structure of the traditional narrative. This shows trough an atypical writing with a fast rythm, wich searches to proyect the disorder and the inmediacy that conforms the renewing ideas. James Joyce (1882-1941) is the most known author that has used the stream of consciousness in his work. The reason is due his novel, Ulysses (1922), established a precedent about the treatment of this method in writing. By their side, Jorge Enrique Adoum (1926-2009) and Abdón Ubidia (1944), ecuadorian authors that work about the city in their novels, employ the stream of consciousness in their writing too: Entre Marx y una mujer desnuda (1976) and Ciudad de invierno (1979), respectively. But, they use this technique with certain changes. In Consecuense, the present work comes to be an answer to this sort of trinagulation made by this users of the stream of consciousness. In this work, we’ll note how the pair of ecuadorian writers reflect, or not, in the legacy that James Joyce left about the use of this literary resource. Plus, it proves that this narrative proposal doesn’t mean an innovation only for the style in the writting, but, this also means a lot of possibilities of freedom in the ideas (of insatisfaction, cynicism, submission, lust, among others) for the chacaracter that is thinking
