Resumen de La importación literaria a finales del siglo XIX en Colombia: el caso de José Asunción Silva
- español
Silva es considerado como una figura emblemática de los procesos de apropiación de las corrientes artísticas que dieron origen al modernismo. Sin embargo, los pocos textos publicados durante su vida no permiten dar cuenta de dicho proceso de importación. Si aceptamos que existe en el poeta una voluntad de asimilar los modelos literarios provenientes de Europa, debemos contemplar la posibilidad de que la transferencia silvana se haya efectuado por otros soportes distintos a los libros o la prensa. Nuestra hipótesis es que el cenáculo se convirtió para el colombiano en el soporte ideal para desplegar una “postura” que encarnará los ideales estéticos de la modernidad literaria.

Silva has been considered as a leading figure in the assimilation of the artistic movements that gave rise to modernism. However, the few texts published during his life does not allow us to notice this literary transfer. If we accept that there exists in the Colombian poet a willingness to appropriate the European literary movements, also we must consider the possibility that Silva’s literary transfer has been carried out by other means than books and presse. Our hypothesis is that the literary coterie became as the ideal platform for the Colombian writer to propagate the image of the decadent writer, which would become as the embodiment of the aesthetic ideals of modern literature.
