El concepto de la crónica: una mirada desde los aportes de las ciencias sociales y humanas. (Spanish)

We reflect on the concept of the Latin American chronicle from the understanding that to build it, testimonial is not enough, but that additional criteria must be taken into account from the theories of narration, literature, social psychology, anthropology symbolic and ethnography. To this are added the contributions of the journalistic-literary tendencies of the North American style, which, in turn, were nourished by the approaches of the nineteenth-century European realist novel. The result is a concept in which the chronicle is located as a genre of a creative and narrative nature, with a particular voice and tone of marked literary influence, with which the reality that is recreated -be it character, place, situation or event-, both from factors of typical interest from journalism, as from the meaningful everyday life.

Se reflexiona sobre el concepto de la crónica latinoamericana a partir del entendido de que, para construirlo, no basta con lo testimonial, sino que deben tomarse en cuenta criterios adicionales desde las teorías de la narración, la literatura, la psicología social, la antropología simbólica y la etnografía. A eso se agregan las contribuciones de las tendencias periodístico-literarias de corte norteamericano, las cuales (a su vez) se nutrieron de los abordajes de la novela realista europea del siglo XIX. El resultado es un concepto en el cual la crónica queda ubicada como un género de corte creativo y narrativo, con una voz y un tono particular de marcada influencia literaria, con el cual se recrea la realidad acontecida (ya sea personaje, lugar, situación o acontecimiento), tanto desde los factores de interés clásicos del periodismo, como desde la cotidianidad significativa.
