Grupo "Calamita Literaria" :propuesta de interpretación discursiva del espacio público de Quito y su resignificación literaria

Abstract

This article discusses the analysis of discursive interpretation of Quito's public space and how it is reconfigured through resignification by the Grupo Calamita Literaria. The ways of narrating the city from the literary poetic perspective are erected through the present; the communicative processes and active social interaction involved in the speeches of the writers, and the problems that lead to the resignification of the city. In turn, the present analysis links literary theory with Erving Goffman's communicational concepts, related to the roles that writers play in public space, and the discursive analysis, proposed by Gadamer, to deconstruct the elements that modify reality. The theoretical path is applied to the identification of contemporary problems that integrate writers within the city and at the same time they transform it from their subjectivity and drive to preserve history through poetic text. Calamita Literaria, from its textual experimentation, relates its poetic action through the adaptation of speeches by national and international poets and shows the new discursive paradigms that resignify the interpretation of public spaces in the city of Quito.
