Teorías literarias viables para el estudio de las canciones en la narrativa de José María Arguedas

Abstract

The main objective of this article is to examine the theoretical scope of postcolonial theory, cultural semiotics and dialogic social poetics to study the interdiscursive representation of songs in the Arguedian narrative. The critical analysis of the epistemological scope of these theories allows us to understand the contributions for critical hermeneutics. Postcolonial theory admits to distinguish the songs inserted in the narrative as a postcolonial textual genre; cultural semiotics helps to perceive songs as cultural units interpolated in a cultural artifact of a supratextual nature (literature); and dialogic social poetics shed light on analyzing the interdiscursiveness and intertextual relationships of songs within narrative discourses.
