Description
Abstract
Tomando como corpus del
trabajo los artículos que Carmen Laforet
publicó de 1948 a 1953 en el semanario
barcelonés Destino, en la sección titula‐
da "Puntos de vista de una mujer", y las
crónicas de su viaje a Estados Unidos en
el otoño de 1965, recogidas en el libro
Paralelo 35, estudio una faceta poco
conocida de la autora: su perfil de pa‐
seante por diversas ciudades, de excur‐
sionista que se refugia en la naturaleza
y de viajera que visita los más destaca‐
dos enclaves de ese país norteameri‐
cano. Analizo en él cómo la escritora
extiende una mirada desprejuiciada
sobre la realidad y la vida que la rodea y
envuelve, guiada por sus apetencias y
gustos, por la curiosidad, atenta a deta‐
lles mínimos que estimulan su imagina‐
ción, a cualquier novedad o cambio que
la impresione e impacte. También anali‐
zo la factura narrativa de los mismos:
estampas y escenas o relatos articula‐
dos en torno a un suceso, una experien‐
cia, un encuentro azaroso o los recuer‐
dos personales. Vemos en ellos a una
Carmen Laforet espectadora y oidora ‐e
interlocutora‐ de la vida contemporá‐
nea, atenta siempre a captar esa reali‐
dad fluida y en constante movimiento
que desfila ante sus ojos
Taking as corpus of my work the articles published by Carme Laforet between 1948 and 1953 in the review Destino, untitled "Puntos de vista de una mujer”, and the cronicles about her journey to the United States in the fall of 1965, collected in the book Paralelo 35, I study an aspect almost unknown of the Spanis writer: her profile as Walker or voyeur in different cities, excursionist who seeks refuge in the Nature or trav‐ eller who visits the most relevant places of the USA. I analize how she projects her unprejudiced watch upon reality and life, taking as a guide only her curi‐ osity or personal desires, and paying special attention to anything which stimulates her imagination and causes an impresión in mind and heart. I also analize the narrative aspects of these texts: scenes and descriptions, or small stories about an event, an experience, an unexpected encounter or sudden rememberings. We discover another Carmen Laforet: a woman who watches and hears contemporary life in its great variety.
