Abstract
The purpose on this thesis is to give a clear view of the most representative Puerto Rican
literature work of the XX century, analyzing the construction of the geographical, cultural, social
and political space, most specific the littoral space, as a vital point on the national and cultural
identity definition. The first chapter gives some ideas on the real and fictional space and the
landscape. The second chapter proposes that the theme of racism is spatially constructed in
Insularismo of Antonio S. Pedreira. The third chapter analyzes the spatial metaphors of Balada
de otro tiempo by José Luis González. The forth chapter examines the architectural space of the
house and the symbolism that encloses the space of the mangrove in La casa de la laguna by
Rosario Ferré. Last chapter studies the carnivalization of the costal space and their subjects in El
cruce de la Bahía de Guánica by Edgardo Rodríguez Juliá.
