Representaciones identitarias de Caracas (Míticas urbanas en algunos personales de la narrativa de José Balza) = Identitary representations of Caracas (Urban mythics in some characters in the narrative of José Balza) / Carlos Dimeo. -- The work we wish to present talks exactly about the city of Caracas as a fundamental imaginary of urban culture and its clearest exponents in the narrative work of José Balza. The work aims to talk about that spectrum from its inhabitants who are vast imaginaries of an accumulation of social representations and not precisely of the city as a physical space. José Balza defines his perspectives around literature, as inflections of the urban represented in “self” and another. It is a metaliterature that puts the author inside and outside the story, always in a double position, showing gestures, characters, thoughts, speech, acting in the midst of special contexts. From this perspective around the poetic and from the definition that José Balza himself brings to the handling of his narrative and fictional structures by titling them Narrative Exercises, we propose to study the fundamental signs that determine the social representations of urban culture, in particular the Caracas installed within Balzas’s literary imaginary.
