El simbolismo en los poemas Dictado por el agua y El cuaderno de un paracaidista de Jorge Carrera Andrade y su impacto en la literatura ecuatoriana

Abstract

Abstract: Symbolism was a literary movement of the late 19th century that sought to represent profound realities through the use of symbols, metaphors, and evocative sensory images. The general objective of this essay was to analyze how the eminent Ecuadorian poet Jorge Carrera Andrade used symbolism in his poems Dictado por el agua and El notebook de un paracaidista to create a rich and complex poetic experience, thus demonstrating his work as a source of inspiration for other Ecuadorian poets. The influence of Carrera Andrade's symbolism expanded into Ecuadorian literature, his experimental and inspired style of symbolism attracting new generations of poets. The essay demonstrated how he became a source of inspiration. However, there remain areas to be further investigated, such as the specific influence of other literary movements on his symbolic poetics, a detailed comparative study with other Latin American authors, and an exhaustive exploration of the relationship between symbolism and Ecuadorian cultural identity reflected in his work. Additionally, being recognized throughout Latin America and beyond, his literary works have received widespread praise, solidifying his status.
