Abstract

SANTIVANEZ VALLE, Jesús Humberto. The circus theme in the short stories El vuelo de los cóndores by Abraham Valdelomar and Fénix by Julio Ramón Ribeyro. Valenciana [online]. 2021, vol.14, n.27, pp.91-117.  Epub Apr 23, 2021. ISSN 2007-2538.  https://doi.org/10.15174/rv.v13i27.532.

This research examines the theme of the circus in two important short stories of Peruviam literature, El vuelo de los cóndores and Fénix, which belong to Postmodernism and Neorealism respectively. Through the sociological critique methodology in the literature, three topics in common will be analysed, such as the circus’s labor problems, main circus characters and the social value of the circus in these two classic tales of Peruvian literature. The results of this analysis will help us understand the circus theme in the work of both writers, Abraham Valdelomar and Julio Ramón Ribeyro.

Keywords : Peruvian Short Story; Peruvian Postmodernism; Peruvian Neorealism; Literary Criticism; Circus.
