Resumen
Descripción
En el presente trabajo pretendo analizar la (re)construcción literaria de la Guerra de Castas a partir de la perspectiva de dos autoras: Marisol Ceh Moo (El llamado de los tunk’ules) y Silvia Molina (Ascención Tun), en cuyos textos literarios se representan los acontecimientos violentos durante la guerra entre blancos y mayas sucedida durante la segunda mitad del siglo XIX en la península de Yucatán, México. El análisis se centra en la reflexión en torno a los puntos de vista de los personajes novelescos acerca del conflicto. El recuerdo, la memoria y la manera en que la ficción narrativa va reconstruyendo el saber histórico, serán los puntos centrales de este artículo. Ambos textos serán analizados dentro de la categoría de la nueva novela histórica, por lo que no se busca la veracidad de los hechos narrados sino la contribución de los textos literarios en la revitalización de la memoria histórica.
In this paper I intend to analyze the literary reconstruction of the Caste War from the perspective of two authors: Marisol Ceh Moo (The Call of the Tunk'ules) and Silvia Molina (Ascención Tun), in whose literary texts violent events are depicted during the racial war between whites and Maya peoples, that occurred during the second half of the 19th century in the peninsula of Yucatan, Mexico. The analysis focuses on the reflection around the points of view of the fictional characters about the conflict. Keepsakes, memory, and the way in which narrative fiction rebuilds historical knowledge will be the central points of this article. Both texts will be analyzed within the category of the new historical novel, therefore, the historical veracity of the narrated events is not sought, but rather the contribution of the texts in the revitalization of historical memory.
