Narrativas de pérdida, expresión literaria ante el sentido de la ausencia

Abstract

Communication sciences aim to understand how information is produced, transmitted, and received in diverse contexts, using various postulates to explain and analyze these processes. Their importance lies in their capacity to unite people, share knowledge, solve problems, and build more just and cohesive societies. Communicating is not simply about speaking or writing; it involves something more: knowing how to listen, understand, and transmit messages with clarity, empathy, and responsibility. A society that communicates effectively is a more united, informed, and prepared environment, better equipped to face the challenges of the present and the future. In a globalized and digitalized world, communication has acquired an even more relevant dimension. New technologies have enabled instant connection between people from diverse cultures and backgrounds, expanding the reach of messages from emerging writers. This article offers a reflective analysis of loss narratives, a term coined by Robert Neimeyer (2019), as a literary expression of absence, highlighting how the act of narration allows for giving meaning, significance, and transcendence to the experience of grief.
