Marsolaire: a Deleuze-Guattarian Analysis of the Short Story
Abstract
This article analyzes the literary piece Marsolaire, published in 1941 by the Barranquilla writer Amira
de la Rosa, based on the philosophical-literary proposal of Gilles Deleuze and Félix Guattari. The text is divided into three parts, the first delves into the concept of the short novel, its elements and its typological classification. The second, makes a synthesis of the work highlighting the characteristics that allow it to be differentiated from the short story narrative, and, finally, a cartographic reading of Marsolaire is proposed, as well as its affiliation to one of the short novel maps outlined from Deleuze-Guattarian theory. The article concludes that the work can be classified as a short novel and not as a story.
