Modelos de argumentos en la narrativa de Murakami

Abstract

El propósito del trabajo es indagar en la narrativa de Haruki Murakami a fin de reconocer, entre sus diversos argumentos, modelos de afinidad temática y organización estructural. La metodología aplicada parte de los postulados de la crítica literaria estructuralista (Todorov, Greimas) e incorpora asimismo el enfoque de relevantes especialistas (Seats, Strecher, Rubio) sobre el autor. Al atender a una serie de obras, se constatan confluencias estructurales apreciables entre ellas (novelas y cuentos). Las conclusiones extraídas permiten afirmar que las citadas obras se construyen a partir de esquemas comunes, esto es, se delimitan dos modelos temáticos y argumentales.

The purpose of the work is to investigate Haruki Murakami’s narrative in order to recognize, among its various arguments, models of thematic affinity and structural organization. The applied methodology is based on the postulates of the structuralist literary criticism (Todorov, Greimas) and it also incorporates the approach of relevant specialists (Seats, Strecher, Rubio) on the author. When considering a series of works, appreciable structural confluences are observed between them (novels and stories). The conclusions drawn allow us to affirm that the aforementioned works are built from common schemes, that is, two thematic and plot models are delimited.
