    La simbología andina del agua en la novela “Los hijos” de Alfonso Cuesta y Cuesta desde la ecosemiótica
    (Universidad de Cuenca. Facultad de Filosofía, Letras y Ciencias de la Educación, 2025-10-30) Loja Vanegas, Luis Alberto; Verdugo Cárdenas, Gladys Jaqueline
    Los hijos (1962) is an Ecuadorian novel written by Alfonso Cuesta y Cuesta belonging to the Literary Transition period, as it deals with themes such as migration and urban conflicts, renews narrative structures and builds rounded characters. Within this framework, the present study will analyze the Andean symbolism of water in the novel. The methodology applied will be analytical-interpretative, with a qualitative approach. Our tool of analysis will be the postulates of ecosemiotics, a current developed by Nöth (2001), Maran and Kull (2014), Kull (2016) and Zengiaro (2024), which will allow us to explore the interrelations of the natural and cultural systems of the work and build an ecological understanding of the world through the Andean symbolism of water, which will be analyzed from the theories of Estermann (2006), Lozada (2006) and Limón (2024). In this way, we identify the ecological roles in the work through the signs emitted by water, as well as its symbolism embodied in the rain, the rivers and the jars.
