O ROMANCE HISTÓRICO NO CONTEXTO DA NOVA NARRATIVA LATINO-AMERICANA:

VEREDAS PARA A DESCOLONIZAÇÃO DA HISTÓRIA PELA FICÇÃO

Abstract

In this article we go through the paths taken by Hispanic American literature in its trajectory of confronting Eurocentric versions and the scope of these transformations in recent writing production. It is our intention, within this scope, to recover how this process occurs from adaptations made in the new Hispanic American narrative after the engendering of the boom, with emphasis on the hybrid novel of history and fiction, a genre that illustrates this path of transformations and innovations in the literary sphere in our continent. In order to contemplate how the hybrid novel sustains, in the recent manifestations of the genre, critical intentions against the colonizing Eurocentric discourse, we have taken for analysis expressions belonging to the thematic axis of the "discovery" of America, demonstrating that the narratives, although relativizing the formal and linguistic experimentalist assumptions inherited from the boom period, maintain a highly critical view in relation to how they reread History.
