    El suicidio literario de Fernando Vallejo: La rambla paralela y la muerte como forma de protesta
    (Pontificia Universidad Católica del Perú, 2024-07-15) Forero Gómez, Andrés
    This article analyzes how Colombian writer Fernando Vallejo uses his novel La rambla paralela (2002) to expose his literary suicide (the death of his novelistic alter ego and his desire to stop writing altogether) as a form of protest towards the nonsensical nature of reality, which is frequently evidenced in Colombian society. To this end, the first section describes the role that suicide has had in Western thought and literature. Afterwards, the second section explains the reasons behind Vallejo’s critical stance in his works. Finally, the third and main section analyzes how Vallejo kills his narrative in his novel and how this act serves as the author’s most radical protest against contemporary reality.

    Metabolizar el riesgo en un paralizante confort: Iménez, una demodistopía colombiana
    (Pontificia Universidad Católica del Perú, 2024-06-14) Torres Vergel, Frak
    The purpose of this research is to analyze the various thematic and discursive elements by which Luis Noriega’s novel Iménez can be considered a demodystopia. To this end, the four coordinates of the system of signification of any demodystopia are first recognized: demography, biopolitics, science fiction and dystopia, which function as synergies present in the architecture of its meaning and as spaces of hermeneutic realization. In the second part, the characterization of these components in the novel diegesis is developed: demographic phenomenon generating the plot conflict (overpopulation), totalitarianism and deviant uses of biopolitics through coercive methods of manipulation and domination (the system of privileges), novum (the Dome), loss of freedom (conditioning and predestination) and identity alienation of the protagonist (detriment of the self).

    Santos, creencias y revistas en las pugnas por la legitimidad: las dos herejías de Manuel Zapata Olivella
    (Pontificia Universidad Católica del Perú, 2023-12-18) Lee Penagos, Juan Camilo
    In this article, we will present two forms of “heresy” in the work of Manuel Zapata Olivella as a novelist and cultural critic during the 1960s. First, we will observe how, in his novel En Chimá nace un santo, the heretical actions of the inhabitants of Chimá pose a direct affront to the legitimacy of the ecclesiastical authority, which derives, at the same time, in the exercise of repressive violence by the state authorities and, in a certain way, in the political awareness of the Chimaleros. Secondly, we will explore how the exercise of cultural and literary criticism that Zapata Olivella carried out in the magazine Letras Nacionales and other publications during the 1960s can also be considered “heretical” in the context of the struggles for cultural legitimacy within the emerging Colombian literary field. This parallelism or “homology” will be constructed from the point of view of Pierre Bourdieu’s sociology of culture and his field theory.
