Objetos, historia, carnavalización y memoria colectiva en la Carroza de Bolívar de Evelio Rosero Diago
(Universidad EAFIT, 2017) Toro Acevedo, James Bianey; N/A
The novel La carroza de Bolívar by Evelio Rosero Diago, states that History as official collective memory can be questioned, even modified, from the literary perspective -- All of that is interwoven through the novelistic proposal made by the author, as he highlights literary elements such as carnivalization and symbolization of objects, posing that the structure of the historical novel has different ways to be told, too -- Thus, Rosero Diago attains to be contestatary of traditional conceptions such as memory and traditional history -- Beyond the fact of achieving a mission in itself, the novel turns into being interesting as it puts the reader to judge for himself, whether he likes more tradition or those elements that allow him to controvert it -- That is why the novel is not conclusive, it rather leaves the struggle between the apocryphal oral and the established traditional open, as it opens cracks so that the reader can be able to ask himself about old certainties
