Contexto urbano social y político y vida cotidiana en la narrativa de Patricio Pron: Grupo Granta en español

Abstract

This research project is part of a MARCO PROJECT whose objective is to explore current trends in contemporary narrative, through the Granta group in Spanish, one of the most recent trends in narrative in our language, made up of 22 authors from Colombia, Argentina, Chile, Bolivia, Mexico, Peru, Uruguay and Spain. The macro project has set out to explore how the work of the authors of Granta in Spanish, through the narrative relevance of the urban context, minimal history, and everyday life, form a critique of the relations of current society and of subjectivity politics of his time. In this fifth phase of the project, it will be explored how the narrative of the Argentine writer Patricio Pron, Alfaguara Prize 2019, through a calculated and precise distance, calls into question the bonds of love in the era of lack of communication, of uncertainty; as well as the way in which the past comes to condition the present, which allows the Argentine writer to return, for example, to the subject of dictatorships (particularly the Argentine one). Although Pron's work is quite extensive, we will deal with the novels Tomorrow we will have other names, The beginning of spring, The spirit of my parents continues to rise in the rain and Do not shed your tears for anyone who lives in these streets.
