Símbolos, sistema metafórico y función simbólica en América Latina.

Within the framework of the enlargement methodological proposed by the thinker Arturo Roig, we expose the need for a Latin American symbolic or semiotic and we unravel Roigean symbol theory, in its double facet: axiology and normativity. Then, we reflect on the distinction between signification and meaning that allows us to open ourselves to the metaphorical system implicit in words as semantic marks. Subsequently, we explain the characteristics of the symbolic universe: conflict, discursive dualism and reversal, in order to show the Roigean interpretation of Caliban as an example of reversal of the symbolic function. Subsequently, we delve into the feminist interpretation of the Sycorax figure as a symbol of resistance and liberation. Finally, we highlight the importance of the scarf as a symbol and the struggle of women in their relentless struggle for their rights. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
