Antología del cuento fantástico ecuatoriano: una propuesta para la enseñanza de la lecto-escritura en el bachillerato

Abstract

The fairy tale anthology on different topics Ecuadorian addresses this type of story: origin, evolution, concept, classification and characteristics. It emphasizes its subject following Todorov and Barrenechea. These two authors disagree in some respects, but agree on others. Todorov based the theme of the fantastic in items I and Thou topics. In the first case referred to the relationship between man and the world, and the second relating to the world of physical pleasures of man with deep sexual connotations, while Barrenechea places its subject in the existence of Gods, beneficent or maleficent powers, and even suggests the existence of parallel worlds to our own.

The representatives considered in this anthology are writers like Jorge Davila, Abdon Ubidia, Carlos Bejar, Raul Vallejo, Edgar Allan Garcia, Oswaldo Encalada, Ivan Petroff Rojas and Santiago Paez, whose literature has selected the stories that make up the corpus of this anthology.

We suggest a method of analysis, so that the stories in this anthology serve as primary source material for students to recover and practice their reading habits-scriptural, looking to perfect. Each story has reading and writing activities themselves.
