The Political Constitution Of The Literary: The Limits Of Representation In Modern Peruvian Literature
Autores
Resumen del Libro
The third chapter examines Lazaro, an unfinished novel by Indigenist writer Ciro Alegria. In this reading, I demonstrate how its unfinished character responds to a structural impossibility of expressing multiplicity. The fourth chapter reads another unfinished novel, El zorro de arriba y el zorro de abajo, by Indigenist writer Jose Maria Arguedas. In this instance, the text embraces multiplicity, establishing a model of an insurmountable crisis of representation. Ultimately, Arguedas work constitutes a new way of reading more faithful to the practice of Literature and its attempt to create a social realm not subordinated by repressive notions of identity.
