Description
Summary:In this article the literary construction is examined of the aesthetic experience within the novel La cárcel (1972), by Colombian author Jesús Zarate Moreno. The analysis is based on the theoretical approaches on aesthetic experience - by Immanuel Kant, Jan Mukařovský and Robert Jauss, among others - and the theoretical approach on the absurdity by Gilles Deleuze. Thus, it proposes to study how the main character, Antón Castán, reformulates his stay in prison through his imaginative and sensitive possibilities. This is shown through a de-intellectualized writing in a personal diary, in which different mechanisms and operations of sensibility in the disintegration of the instant can be read.
