Abstract
El tema central en torno al que gira esta tesis es la representación literaria de matanzas de obreros ocurridas en determinados países de Hispanoamérica en la primera mitad del siglo XX. Se ha trabajado con un corpus narrativo de cinco novelas: Las cruces sobre el agua (1946) del ecuatoriano Joaquín Gallegos Lara; Hijo del salitre (1956) del chileno Volodia Teitelboim; En la Semana Trágica (1966) y El profundo Sur (1999) de los argentinos David Viñas y Andrés Rivera, respectivamente; y Santa María de las flores negras (2002) del escritor chileno Hernán Rivera Letelier. La coherencia de un corpus como el que aquí se presenta guarda relación con dos aspectos: por un lado, todas estas novelas entablan diálogos,con distinto grado de filiación, con el discurso histórico; por otro lado, son textos narrativos que toman como referente una serie de matanzas de obreros cuya característica distintiva ha sido su condición fundacional. Las matanzas a las que se hace alusión son la masacre de la escuela Santa María de Iquique en Chile en 1907, la matanza de obreros metalúrgicos en Argentina en 1919 y la matanza de obreros en Ecuador en 1922...
The central issue of this thesis has been the literary representation of massacres of workers which occurred in certain countries of Latin America during the first half of the twentieth century. The narrative corpus is made up of five novels: Las cruces sobre el agua (The Crosses on the Water, 1946) by Ecuadorian writer Joaquín Gallegos Lara; Hijo del salitre (Son of the Saltpeter, 1956) by Chilean novelist and politician Volodia Teitelboim; En la Semana Trágica (In the Tragic Week, 1966) and El profundo sur (The Deep South,1999) by Argentine novelists David Viñas and Andrés Rivera, respectively; and Santa María de las flores negras (Santa María of the Black Flowers, 2002) by Chilean writer Hernán Rivera Letelier. The coherence of a corpus such as the one presented here is related to two aspects: on the one hand, all these novels engage in dialogue, with different degrees of affiliation, with the historical discourse; on the other hand, they are narrative texts that take as reference a series of massacres of workers whose distinctive feature has been their founding condition. The massacres referred to are the massacre of the Santa María de Iquique school in Chile in 1907, the massacre of metallurgical workers in Argentina in 1919 and the massacre of workers in Ecuador in 1922...
