Hermeneutic Systematization Around the Literary Representations of The Time of the Hero

Abstract

The Time of the Hero has been exposed for the analysis of the hermeneutical community for more than fifty years. In this sense, it is unavoidable to resort to the systematizing criterion that Hans-Georg Gadamer bases on his text Truth and Method, which is useful to catalog and conditionally criticize the proposals that have been developed around the diversity of literary representations that they have been manifested in this book. For the effectiveness of this work, it is assumed that this object of study is understood in terms of the following treatments: the perception of real reality in the literary work, its autobiographical classification, the articulation of language as a style, irony as a discursive strategy and channeling violence and, finally, the technique of the open end with respect to the death of the character Ricardo Arana (the Slave). With these six approaches focused on the hermeneutic, we intend to produce confrontation and intertextual dialogue with the referenced contributions, with the purpose of making the configuration of an exegetical panorama of the first novel of Mario Vargas Llosa utopian.
