Los espacios conquistados en la narrativa de Juan Bosch

Abstract

As is common in the world of fiction, the one by Juan Bosch has a set of characteristics which show the author’s obsessions and preoccupations. In his narrative, characters and scenarios are fundamental. Through both of them, Bosch explores the peculiarities of the Dominican being and the essentialities of the human nature. This work studies some of the paradigms of Bosch’s writing based on two themes: the relationship between man and word, and the interdependence between man and space. This is a necessary study in order to illustrate how Bosch creates his own aesthetical universe (characterized by “communitarian” and “social” components), in which the local, the universal and the cultural act as the essence of culture and therefore, writing. Elements which show the conquered spaces in his fictional world.
