The international literary genre better known as Magical Realism had on Gabriel García Márquez’s laureate book One Hundred Years of Solitude one of its major inspirations. The movement of Boom boosted the original recognition of Latin American’s authors during the 1960s and 1970s sparking a world-scale debate about the existence of whether or not a mythical or legendary reality goes beyond the strict reality of West. Aside this acknowledgment, the view around One Hundred Years of Solitude became affiliated to a metaphorical representation of Colombia and Latin American culture and history. This dissertation intends to question the link between nation and inter-national through this literary symbol of twentieth century. Therefore, an intersection will be made between literature, modernity and post-coloniality. With Gabriel García Márquez’s local utterances my aim is to question the normalized values of authority and signification easily assumed and simultaneously produced by modernization theory and Eurocentric remnants, mainly International Relations epistemology. To this purpose I take an out of joint account of time and space allied with a poetics of solitude to enable a displacement of the boundaries that split the magical and the real.
