| Abstract: | We intend to identify in the Barcelonan contemporary writer’s novel, Enrique Vila-Matas, both the symbolic images, as well as its own symbolic constellation, and then, the schematics that govern the movements of the imaginary of the writer. Thus, we use the means of the semantics, such as the syntax and those of the pragmatics of the imaginary, meaning the instruments of the Rhetoric of the imaginary, following the route established by Gilbert Durand, Jean Burgos and by Antonio García Berrio. In the analyzed novel, Hijos sin hijos, the central symbolic image, a metaphor of the descent and of its interruption, a constellation of parables unfolds which refer to the destiny of the grey characters, the trivial. The pulsations of the imaginary belong to the Nocturnal digestive and copulative regime and to the Diurnal regime, and we notice a fluid alternation between these two. In conclusion, in this novel there are alternations or rapid movements, there are imaginary pulsations, that correspond to its own construction of the novel, and with its schematics of its linguistic material. |
