El realismo mágico en la literatura china contemporánea. Gabriel García Márquez y Mo Yan

Abstract

La recepción crítica y la influencia literaria del realismo mágico en la literatura contemporánea china han permanecido sumidas durante mucho tiempo en un inmerecido olvido, pues tanto el mundo intelectual hispánico como el chino han tardado en considerar este tema un objeto digno de estudio. Con el presente proyecto procedemos, por un lado, a diseccionar, analizar y presentar la recepción crítica del realismo mágico en el mundo literario chino; y a examinar, por otro lado, cómo las novelas mágico-realistas influyen sobre la creación narrativa de los escritores chinos de la “literatura de la búsqueda de las raíces”. Procederemos, asimismo, a un ejercicio de intertextualidad relacionando las novelas de García Márquez con varias obras de Mo Yan, premio Nobel de Literatura de 2012.

Magic realism has made a continued and enormous impact on contemporary novels since the middle eighty of last century. The reason is not only because the extensive and profound characteristics of the novels but because his novels fit on the need of Chinese contemporary literature in different periods. The pioneer novels in mid – eighty learned the form from García Márquez, Juan Rulfo in order to overturn the view that the literature is the tool of Political Ideology and let the literature return to itself. Root-seeking literature was one of the most important literature ideological trends of Chinese contemporary literature in the New Period. In the process of adopting foreign current of literacy thoughts, many writers expressed that Magic realism had left a deep impression on their works. I mainly discusses what revelation the Root-seeking novels have given us after the dialogue between these two literature ideological trends.
