| description | This paper studies the novels of the Colombian writer Óscar Godoy Barbosa from the perspective of the
city as chaotic space causing conflict in the subject related to contemporary urban life.
Duelo de miradas [Duel of Glances] , El arreglo [The Fix] and Once días de noviembre[Eleven Days of November] are novels whose plot is developed most of all in Bogotá, Colombian capital; as can be identified by differ-ent literal references. The protagonists of the three novels experience migratory processes common to Colombia and Latin America after 1950. Overpopulation and the proliferation of cultures and customs
are accentuated by the rush for progress. This tends to quickly demolish spaces which are loaded with
meaning for the characters, affecting the configuration of their identity and generating a condition of
abandonment and loss of bearings. Characters frequently drift through the city with no fixed purpose,
overcome by their own conflict. |

Este artículo analiza la obra novelística del escritor colombiano Óscar Godoy Barbosa[1] desde la perspectiva de la ciudad como espacio caótico que propicia en el sujeto conflictos propios de la contemporaneidad urbana. Duelo de miradas, El arreglo y Once días de noviembre son novelas cuyo desarrollo ocurre principalmente en la capital colombiana: Bogotá; de ello dan cuenta diferentes referencias literales. Los protagonistas de las tres narraciones viven procesos migratorios propios de la Colombia y la América Latina de después de 1950. La sobrepoblación y proliferación de culturas y costumbres, son acentuadas por el afán del progreso. Este tiende a derrumbar rápidamente espacios que han sido cargados de significado para los personajes, afectando la configuración de su identidad y generándoles una condición de desamparo y extravío. Frecuentemente, los personajes vagarán por las calles sin un rumbo fijo, desbordados en su propio conflicto.
