Código de extranjería de César Molina : itinerario de un relato de viajes contemporáneo

Abstract

In Ecuadorian poetry there are particular marks of voluntary or forced migratory journeys, and individual forms of naming and characterizing this motive are determined from the voices of their creators. Código de extranjería by César Molina is a collection of poems which delimits special coordinates where the motive of the migratory journey defines a painful spectacle of this process and refers it in poetic stories full of affection, criticism, and solidarity. Our reading will seek to characterize the poems of the book as a possible mapping of the contemporary book of travel. It is important to show how the Ecuadorian poet traces his itinerary and how he defines the discursive strategies within the framework of the morphology of the books of travel
