Роман Маркеса «Сто лет одиночества»: опыт дискурсивного анализа

Abstract

The object of the study is the novel “One Hundred Years of Solitude” by the Colombian writer Gabriel Garcia Marquez, which is considered one of the most complex works in world literature due to the many repetitive anthroponyms and bizarre expressive means due to the poetics of magical realism. A rationalized literary analysis is carried out, aimed at identifying and explaining the philosophical, anthropocentric message of the text, ‘cleared’ from mythopoetic layers. The main discursive, problem-thematic lines that predetermine the systemic crisis of society and the ‘end of the world’ are identified. These are ‘forgetfulness of native languages’, ‘military conflicts’, ‘desacralization of God’, ‘profanation of traditional values’, ‘environmental conflicts’, ‘dominance of urgy over gonia’, ‘incest’. The image ‘rainstorm’ and the anthroponym ‘Buendia’ are interpreted, symbolizing the probability of a ‘point of return’ and the historical optimism of the author. The conclusion is made about the high educational potential of the ‘novel-warning’.
