The phenomenology of the flame in the stories: "La sangre" and "Sombras".
Keywords:
Phenomenology, Verticality, Horizontality, ShadowsAbstract
In this study, the stories "La sangre" and "Sombras" by the Dominican writer Juan Bosch are addressed. Both stories follow the theme of honor. Light and shadow are the starting point for the narrative construct that amalgamates the metaphorical universe of these stories. However, the flame is the clock hand that illuminates the narrative drama of the horizontality of human values.The flame of a candle by Gaston Bachelard serves as a methodological framework for the phenomenological study of the flame in "The blood" and "Shadows". The poet and philosopher, through the flame, elucidates, in an extraordinary way, the historical universal reality.
