Abstract

CARRION, César Eduardo. El ethos barroco: una lectura desde la teoría de los modos literariosThe baroque ethos: a reading from the theory of literary modes. Universitas [online]. 2017, n.26, pp.163-178. ISSN 1390-8634.  https://doi.org/10.17163/uni.n26.2017.06.

The following article assesses the concept of “baroque ethos”, created by the Ecuadorian-Mexican thinker Bolívar Echeverría (Riobamba, Ecuador, 1941-Mexico City, Mexico, June 5, 2010), as it appears in his book entitled Modernity of the baroque (1998), from a particular interpretation of the Theory of literary modes, developed by Northrop Frye, in his book called Anatomy of criticism (1991), and reinterpreted by Hayden White in part of his book entitled Metahistory (1998). This exercise responds to the opportunity to read the Echeverria theory as a model of interpretation of the whole history of the West, called “historical ethos”.

Keywords : Bolívar Echeverría; baroque ethos; Northrop Frye; Hayden White; historical ethos.
