El reino de este mundo: deconstruction in light of the General System Theory

Abstract

The present article presents a brief theoretical revision of the deconstructionist procedure of Derrida in light of the General System Theory, in an approximation to the work El reino de este mundo of Alejo Carpentier. The critical procedure adopted in this article is a referential enlargement that corroborates the deconstructionist perspective. Therefore, we present an aproximation of the deconstruction developed in Gramatology with the General System Theory, presupposing with this your theoretical origin; an approach to conceptual variations, in theoretical and conceptual terms, of the historical novel as a systemic equifinality of a literary genre; an approach of this theoretical proposal to the El reino de este mundo; and finally, we proceeded to the referential enlargement with the hypothesis of finding in Plato a historical proto-romance.
