Humanism, literature and the environment: The case of Amor en la línea vieja

Abstract

This novel: Amor en la línea vieja, presents the need of a communication with the world and the environment in a field where family´s relationships have been woven, and the conflicts with those who reject the human being´s dignity. The humanism, that necessary space of reflection, can be read from the perspective of what the accession of vital critical form means. A novel goes further away, from its textual form. It is a way of facing, knowing, debating and considering the world around us. This is why the fundamental axis advocate in this novel of Walter Rojas Pérez, allowed us to establish a discussion about the meaning of humanism, the academic task, the approach of texts and the reflection of space in the classroom as a priority.
