Literature students and academic researchers
Preparing for a university-level literature exam or literary theory certification
The LITERATURA mind map is a comprehensive academic resource designed for students and educators to analyze the fundamental pillars of literary theory and creative writing. This LITERATURA template covers 41 distinct nodes, organizing complex concepts such as the Poetic Function (Función Poética), intertextuality, and the polysemic nature of literary language. It serves as a LITERATURA cheat sheet for understanding the structural components of storytelling, including the narrative arc from Beginning (Inicio) to Conflict (Conflicto) and Resolution (Desenlace). By mapping out the three primary genres—Narrative, Dramatic, and Lyric—this guide provides a factual framework for identifying literary canons and worldviews, ranging from Realism to Magical Realism (Realismo Mágico). The visual layout helps users distinguish between subjective elements like the Lyric I (Yo lírico) and structural elements like Time and Space, making it an essential tool for literary analysis.

Yes, this template is fully editable. You can add your own 'Ejemplo de obra' (work examples), expand on the 'Subjetividad' of specific poems, or customize the 'Marco' (setting) nodes to fit your specific curriculum or research needs.
The best approach is to follow the 'Géneros' branch, which separates the 'Narrativo', 'Dramático', and 'Lírico' styles. This allows you to compare the 'Conversacional' nature of drama against the 'Versos' and 'Yo lírico' found in poetry.
