Periodismo narrativo y estética de la recepción. La ruptura del canon y la nueva crónica latinoamericana

The new Latin American journalism reformulates now the chronic and the rol of informing, introducing innovative ways of narrative that updates the legacy of the local narrative aesthetics, as once happened with the publishing boom of Latin American novel that broke the hitherto dominant literary canon, rising a phenomenon of mass consumption and unprecedented reception in the cultural history of Spain and Latin America. Exploring the logic of textual mediation, associated with this process from a critique of the aesthetics of reception elements, provides interesting new conceptions of journalism in the global era. This article discusses how to understand the necessary continuity and breakdown of the boom in Latin American literature with the new generation of writers, in the passage of what some authors synthesized and summarized as the transition of magical realism to realism magical. This is a new generation of Latin American journalists who stands for a renewed narrative journalism and chronic, beyond the impact that supposed the new American journalism and providing new interpretive keys to rethink identity and Latin culture in the regional communication geopolitics.
