Resumen
En este trabajo, se analizará la novela The Great Gatsby, publicada en 1925 por F.Scott Fitzgerald desde tres perspectivas diferente: Socio-histórica, Postconlonial y Deconstructiva. Para llevarlo a cabo, se hace necesario observar el entramado histórico y cult ral de los años veinte en el que se percibe conexiones entre la cultura de los años veinte y la propia novela de Fitzgerald. El autor lo ejemplifica a través del Jazz en The Great Gatsby. El propósito principal de este proyecto es animar a los estudiantes a leer entre líneas y ver las ideologías que subyacen en los textos que leen. Se dice más de lo que las propias palabras describen y The Great Gatsby consigue crear un mundo de imágenes, no sólo de palabras.
In this project, it is going to be analysed the novel The Great Gatsby, published in 1925 by F. Scott Fitzgerald from a Socio-historical, Postcolonial and Deconstructive perspective. In doing so, it is necessary to first look at the historical and cultural background of the 1920s. Besides, there are some links between the 1920s culture and the novel written by F. Scott Fitzgerald. He epitomized the Jazz Age in The Great Gatsby. The main purpose of the project is to encourage students to “read between the lines” and see what ideologies lie behind the texts they read. There is more to be said than words can describe and Fitzgerald’s The Great Gatsby surely accomplishes to create a world of images, not a world of words.
