Análisis de la cuentística de Mary Corylé: Mundo pequeño (1948) y Gleba (1952), desde las dimensiones de la hermenéutica

Abstract

This project addresses the short story work of the ecuadorian writer María Ramona Cordero y León (Mary Corylé), from the hermeneutical analysis based on two short stories: Mundo Pequeño (1948) and Gleba (1952). It will seek to locate and interpret the main signs and meanings of the narrative production of Mary Corylé, published between 1940 and 1960, a period known within Cuenca literature as the transition period (Dávila, 1998). The interpretative reading will take into account the interconnections that occur between the signs that formulate a literary text, and between these and those that make up the social and ideological contexts in which the works are produced. The present study will require a qualitative investigative approach because the body that will allow the study will try to record all the short stories that the writer has produced. It is known that there are few critical studies on this subject, which will allow the present investigation to complete the critical panorama that exists about Mary Corylé. For the theoretical and methodological framework, postulates have been taken from authors such as: Dufays, S. (2016); Giorgi, G. (2014); Lloret, A. (1980); Gonzales, L. (2018); Lespada, G (2015); Jimenez, C. (2021); Ojeda, M. (2020); Foucault, M. (1977), Garrido Domínguez, A. (2004). In addition, the critical canon that is generated on the Cuencano-Ecuadorian narrative will be expanded. The critical development of this study becomes fundamental for Ecuadorian letters, its execution will make visible from the shadows the literary canonical of the country.
