The Literary Chapel “Obandx” And Its Projection In The Context Of The Third Industrial Revolution

Abstract

This article, based on the literary sociology of value analysis, which brings together textual literary sociology and the sociology of literary institutions, aims to understand operational models regarding the construction of cultural networks and fictional holographic figures, based on the political use made by various writers and commercial and amateur critics of the technological-corporate system, which operates emphatically in literature at present. The research focuses on the analysis of discourses of certain representative figures, in particular, the literary chapel known here as “Obandx”, led by Costa Rican poet Gustavo Solórzano Alfaro. Data is systematized around awards, exchanges of comments, political links, ideological trends, and publications in public and private publishing houses. Among the findings are several dynamics such as the construction of fictional literary holograms in the Costa Rican cultural scene, which allows for dialectical comparisons with similar actions by writers based in Spain, such as Luis García Montero, Sergio Ramírez Mercado, and Gioconda Belli, providing material for further research.
