BREVE APROXIMACIÓN AL CONCEPTO DE LITERATURA DE VIAJES COMO GÉNERO LITERARIO
José María Santos Rovira, Pablo Encinas Arquero
Resumen
El presente artículo pretende abordar el concepto de literatura de viajes como género literario. Tradicionalmente, este tipo de literatura ha sido englobado dentro del género narrativo, como un subgrupo temático de éste, algo que, a nuestro juicio, no refleja la realidad literaria de las obras de este género. A través de una aproximación histórica, queremos dar lugar a una reflexión sobre la teoría de los géneros literarios, así como a una nueva consideración de la literatura de viajes como género independiente.
This article aims to address the concept of travel literature as a literary genre. Traditionally, this type of literature has been encompassed within the narrative genre, as a sub-cluster of it, something which, in our view, does not reflect the reality of the literary works of this genre. Through an historical approach, we want to give rise to reflection on the theory of literary genres and a reconsideration of the travel literature as an independent genre.
