Visión jurídico-crítica de la obra literaria de Pablo Palacio

Abstract

Abstract:In the present work of investigation a brief historical glance of the North American movement was made Law and Literature, whose beginnings go back to the end of century XIX until it is definitively consolidated in the Seventies of century XX, with the publication of several works of anti-formalist jurists who find in literary works a way to understand the law from a more humanized, from three perspectives: law in literature, law of literature and law as literature. Under this antecedent, narrative constructions relevant to legal thought were analyzed, from three star novels of lojana literature: La Emancipada, by Miguel Riofrío; La Campana de Ciudadela, by José Alejo Palacios; and Luzmila by Manuel Enrique Rengel. And finally, in the work of Pablo Palacio, specifically in Un hombre muerto a puntapiés and Vida del ahorcado, identified abnormal characters, casuistic scenarios and satirical events that denounce a lacerating justice that acts in the name of the law, which is he questions it insistently.
