La invención del jardín. Antología, (2018): caracterización y travesía de la propuesta lírica de Julio Pazos Barrera en el escenario de la literatura ecuatoriana de las décadas del 80, 90 y 2000

Abstract

This research analyses the anthology La invención del jardín, (2018), by Julio Pazos Barrera, (Baños-Ecuador, 1944), a collection of texts that collects the author's production between 1979 and 2016, gathered in 250 poems from 17 collections of poems. The objective was to study and characterize the poetic journey of the writer during the last decades of 80-90-2000. To that end, the guidelines of qualitative research and the model of hermeneutic literary analysis were used, a tool that relates the text to important features of the socio-historical and cultural-literary field of the time and these with the critical and interpretative positions of readers. As a result, it is appreciated that the author's work makes visible how the most significant elements of his writing journey such as memory and everyday life are in direct connection with the assembly of his personal anthology and the socio-historic contexts in which the poem books were written.
