CARRILLO SILVA, Silvana. The modernist Decadentism of Ventura García Calderón. Anomie, pathologies and satire in Invitación a la soledad. Desde el Sur [online]. 2019, vol.11, n.2, pp.333-341. ISSN 2076-2674.  http://dx.doi.org/10.21142/DES-1102-2019-333-341.

This paper aims to analyze the story «Invitación a la soledad» by Ventura García Calderón, published in the book Color de sangre, in 1931. The story is an example of how the modernist Decadentist aesthetic manifests itself in social anomie, mental and organic pathologies, and satire. In our discussion of these elements, we employ the sociology of Émile Durkheim, the analytical psychology of Carl Gustav Jung, and the fictional modes theory of Northrop Frye.

Palabras clave : Modernist Decadentism; anomie; pathology; archetype; Myth of Winter.
