Análisis narratológico e intertextual en los cuentos de doña Lily Pilataxi de Arenas.

Abstract

To follow the path of Children's Literature is to enter a fascinating world of words. This great set of words accurately written makes little heads, full of imagination, develop their creativity, their feelings and their values that will set their future lives. I decided to choose the children’s literature work of a woman from Guayaquil, she dedicated her whole life to be close to the youngest population of this country, Mrs. Lily Pilataxi de Arenas, an educator with her heart and soul. In this thesis for a master degree I’ve decided to do a narratological analysis from the point of view of Xavier Oquendo Troncoso, and an intertextual analysis of these four books: "La campanita de cristal", "El llanto del delfín", "Quisieron ser libres" and " Doña cucaracha y la bolita de nieve " It is worth to recognize that Universidad Técnica Particular de Loja has driven this Masters in Children's Literature and allowed us, the students to dust and rummage inside the great works of the children’s literature field and to let the authors be visible. It also empowers us to join a genre that has existed for many centuries: the importance of literature for the children. As part of the research there was an interview with the author, generating a conversation about her work, that is not only children's literature but also other interesting topics.
