Entre lo salvaje y la inocencia: lectura intertextual de La Vorágine y El abrazo de la Serpiente

Abstract

This paper aims a new approach to indigenous representation in literature and cinema through the intertextual analysis between La Vorágine (1924) [The Vortex] and El abrazo de la serpiente (2015) [Embrace of the Serpent]. It is concluded, after a detailed study, that both – the novel and the film, bring a new perspective from the indigenous by means of simplicity as an actual way of being of this important community in Colombia.
