Title	Viajes internos : desarrollos y cambios personales y rasgos estáticos a través de los viajes en Los pasos perdidos y La vorágine
Publisher	Central Connecticut State University
Date	2009
Resource Type	Master's Thesis
Notes	The purpose of this investigation is to discuss and compare the effects of travel on the main characters in two Spanish American fictional works: Los pasos perdidos by Alejo Carpentier and La vorágine by José Eustasio Rivera. Utilizing the theories and literary criticisms of non-fictional travel literature, I analyze the areas in which the protagonists of Los pasos perdidos (the musician) and La vorágine (Arturo Cova) undergo a change by comparing their characteristics, beliefs, and actions before and after their travels. Both of these characters embark on a journey to a destination that differs greatly from their departure site. The musician from Los pasos perdidos travels from New York City to an undisclosed city in Spanish America, and from there continues on into the jungle. Arturo Cova in La vorágine travels from Bogotá to the plains in Casanare, and then to the Venezuelan jungle. The travelers are confronted with foreign surroundings that differ in their nature, people, and culture from the travelers‘ origin, which create feelings of isolation and loneliness in them because they come to the realization that they will always remain foreigners or ―outsiders. These external changes cause introspection in which the protagonists evaluate themselves and their actions. In general, this internal evaluation then influences the musician and Arturo Cova to change their ideas, convictions, and actions. However, in some areas the protagonists do not change their deeply rooted convictions. The areas of character growth and development as well as character stagnation on which I focus are: evaluating personal values upon confrontation of the new environment, alcoholism, violence, masculinity and chauvinism. Overall, the musician from Los pasos perdidos and Arturo Cova progress toward self-realization because of their travels, even though some of their traits and beliefs do not evolve.
