Notes:
This thesis attempts to explore the works of G. García Márquez, F. Cruz Kronfly, G. Espinosa y A. Mútis that propose a new image of Simón Bolívar, agent of the independence of the 19th century. Here, the purpose of thematic convergence and historical intent from the last two decades of the 20th century in the light of the complexity and tension presented in the Bolivar project of social unification of the American subcontinent during its national formation in the 19th century is investigated. It is proven that through these narrative works a divergence from the traditional historic discourse of the historic mother countries is manifested. In these, the dismount of the complex social and cultural condition, as well as the reconstruction of the present national panorama is proposed.
