El proyecto hermenéutico de José María Arguedas: una lectura de las imágenes narrativas sobre la orolatría en Yawar Fiesta a la luz de la filosofía andina
Thesis
The text explores the possible relevance of the work and thought of José María Arguedas for Latin American hermeneutics and philosophy. Throughout the first chapter I try to explain the hermeneutic nature of the literary work of Arguedas, in whose maturity finds in Dilthey's hermeneutic vitalism a theoretical and methodological support for his initial intuitions about the epistemological value that he granted to his vital experience as a foundation of his work. In this sense, I argue that Arguedas represents a vitalist and anti-positivist current of the Latin American intellectual tradition of the first half of the 20th century. Then, during the second chapter, I propose that, in the light of Estermann's Andean philosophy, and in comparison with López Albújar, Arguedas's narrative images of the Andean mountain cult do hermeneutic justice to the rationality, experience and ethical dimension underlying an existing central religious practice in the Andes. This second chapter seeks to show the analytical usefulness of the conceptual apparatus proposed by philosophers such as Gómez (2012), Holenstein (2008) and Estermann (2006) in the analysis of literary works from a intercultural and philosophical perspective. In general terms, here I outline a possibility of dialogue between philosophy and literature beyond the strictly literary, considering that in an intellectual tradition like ours, before philosophy and social sciences, narrative was the medium in which some themes and problems of Latin American thought emerged
