Abstract
Esta tesis doctoral analiza la poética interdiscursiva de la guerra en la obra de Arturo Pérez - Reverte a partir del diálogo entre su periodismo y siete novelas: El húsar, El sol de Breda, Cabo Trafalgar, Un día de cólera, Línea de fuego, Sidi y Revolución. Se parte de la hipótesis de que los géneros periodísticos cultivados por el autor -reportajes, crónicas, columnas, mini-columnas, así como crónicas y reportajes televisivos sobre guerras y crisis internacionales- constituyen el laboratorio discursivo donde se forjan su mirada narrativa, su modelo de mundo, su ethos testimonial y muchos de los recursos lingüísticos y narrativos que posteriormente se reelaboran en la ficción histórica. Para demostrarlo, se aplica un modelo de análisis retórico interdiscursivo en tres niveles: referencial, de formulación lingüística e implementación textual.
El análisis referencial identifica cuatro ejes constantes en ambos corpus: la guerra como experiencia límite y testimonial; la memoria de los excluidos de la narrativa oficial; la desmitificación del poder y del heroísmo; y la presencia sistemática de "espacios grises" de ambigüedad moral. En el nivel de formulación lingüística, la investigación demuestra la persistencia de un ethos de reportero testigo que se transfiere a narradores jóvenes, corales o héroes marginales en la ficción, configurando una mirada revertiana coherente que atraviesa géneros y soportes. En el plano de la implementación textual, se documenta la continuidad de recursos como la "lengua de quienes padecen", las apelaciones directas al lector, el uso estratégico de ironía y humor, la construcción de personajes mediante acciones reveladoras y testimonio directo, así como un denso entramado de relaciones intertextuales e hipertextuales con archivos históricos, iconográficos y literarios.
El conjunto de resultados permite formular la noción de "memoria encarnada" de la guerra como clave de la poética revertiana: una escritura que no solo recuerda o representa conflictos armados, sino que los encarna en cuerpos, voces, olores, heridas y decisiones morales concretas, de modo que el lector experimenta vicariamente la experiencia límite sin que esta quede reducida a espectáculo o mera reconstrucción documental.
This doctoral dissertation analyzes the interdiscursive poetics of war in the work of Arturo Pérez - Reverte, based on the dialogue between his journalism and seven novels: El húsar, El sol de Breda, Cabo Trafalgar, Un día de cólera, Línea de fuego, Sidi and Revolución. It starts from the hypothesis that the journalistic genres cultivated by the author -news reports, chronicles, opinion columns, mini columns, as well as television reports and chronicles on wars and international crises- constitute the discursive laboratory in which his narrative gaze, his world model, his testimonial ethos, and many of the linguistic and narrative resources later reworked in historical fiction are forged. To demonstrate this, a rhetorical and interdiscursive analytical model is applied at three levels: referential, linguistic formulation, and textual implementation. The referential analysis identifies four constant axes in both corpora: war as a limit and testimonial experience; the memory of those excluded from official narratives; the demystification of power and heroism; and the systematic presence of "grey areas" of moral ambiguity. At the level of linguistic formulation, the research shows the persistence of a witness - reporter ethos that is transferred to young narrators, polyphonic ensembles, or marginal heroes in fiction, configuring a coherent Revertean gaze that cuts across genres and media. At the level of textual implementation, it documents the continuity of devices such as the "language of those who suffer", direct address to the reader, the strategic use of irony and humour, the construction of characters through revealing actions and direct testimony, as well as a dense network of intertextual and hypertextual relations with historical, iconographic, and literary archives. Taken together, the results make it possible to formulate the notion of an "embodied memory" of war as a key to Pérez - Reverte's poetics: a mode of writing that not only remembers or represents armed conflicts, but embodies them in bodies, voices, smells, wounds, and concrete moral decisions, so that the reader experiences the limit situation vicariously without it being reduced to spectacle or mere documentary reconstruction.
