Abstract (Spanish)
Esta tesina examina el espacio literario de Macondo y su transformación a raíz de influencias externas de carácter nacional en Cien años de soledad (1967) de Gabriel García Márquez. Se lleva a cabo un estudio de caso centrado en tres episodios clave del creciente contacto entre Macondo y el Estado. El objetivo del estudio es analizar sus respectivas lógicas espaciales como base de la producción y transformación de Macondo como espacio, e investigar cómo se evalúan estas lógicas opuestas en la novela. El análisis se basa en el concepto de la producción del espacio y el modelo de la tríada espacial de Henri Lefebvre (1991), complementados por la teoría de la colonialidad del poder de Aníbal Quijano (2000), que en conjunto ofrecen un enfoque...

Los resultados revelan que la producción de Macondo como espacio se origina en dos lógicas espaciales fundamentalmente distintas, con el Estado quien produce la aldea como un espacio concebido desde una posición de poder centralizado. Debido a su carácter dominante, la perspectiva estatal prevalece y transforma a Macondo, ignorándolo como espacio vivido. Los hallazgos sugieren que ninguna de las dos lógicas espaciales es plenamente legitimada por la novela. (Less)
Abstract
This thesis examines the literary space of Macondo and its transformation due to external national influences in One Hundred Years of Solitude (1967) by Gabriel García Márquez. A case study is conducted of three key episodes in Macondo’s increasing contact with the state. The objective of the study is to analyze their respective spatial logics as a basis of the production and transformation of Macondo as a space, and to investigate how these opposing logics are evaluated in the novel. The analysis draws on Henri Lefebvre’s (1991) concept of the production of space and his model of the spatial triad, complemented by Aníbal Quijano’s (2000) theory of the coloniality of power, which together offer a novel approach.

This thesis examines the literary space of Macondo and its transformation due to external national influences in One Hundred Years of Solitude (1967) by Gabriel García Márquez. A case study is conducted of three key episodes in Macondo’s increasing contact with the state. The objective of the study is to analyze their respective spatial logics as a basis of the production and transformation of Macondo as a space, and to investigate how these opposing logics are evaluated in the novel. The analysis draws on Henri Lefebvre’s (1991) concept of the production of space and his model of the spatial triad, complemented by Aníbal Quijano’s (2000) theory of the coloniality of power, which together offer a novel approach. The results reveal that the production of Macondo as a space stems from two fundamentally different spatial logics, with the state producing the village as a conceived space from a position of centralized power. Owing to its dominant nature, the state's perspective overrides and transforms Macondo, disregarding it as a lived space. The findings suggest that neither of the two spatial logics is fully legitimized by the novel. (Less)
