Santa María Huatulco (Mexico) -- In literature
Descripción: This thesis analyses Huatulquenos (1991) and Samahua (1997), by the Mexican author Leonardo Da Jandra. The goal of this study is to examine the interaction between literature and society. For this reason, three elements have been tackled: the referent that inspired the novels, the texts and their reception. The referent, the county of Santa Maria Huatulco (Mexico), has been studied from a socio-political perspective. The text analysis, on the other hand, not only focuses on style and content of the texts, but it isolates the implicit discourses articulated in both novels. Finally, the study of the reception explains the different reactions the texts have experienced as well as the environmental activism the author and his wife have led. The conclusions wrap up by questioning the roles of the intellectual as a cultural mediator and of literature and literary criticism as means of representation of subaltern groups.
