Resumen

El siguiente artículo propone una revisión de los presupuestos temáticos y estructurales utilizados en las novelas de Lina Meruane Las infantas (1998) y Fruta podrida (2007), desde una perspectiva socioliteraria basada en algunas ideas desarrolladas por Slavoj Žižek en sus distintos análisis sobre la violencia, la ideología y el poder. El objetivo principal de este trabajo es descubrir si, a modo de actualización, Fruta podrida supone una reformulación de las premisas antisistema que movilizan a los personajes en torno a puntos centrales en ambas novelas como las corporalidades, la marginalidad o el exceso escatológico, entre otros.

Abstract

Abstract

The following article proposes a review of the thematic and structural presuppositions used in Lina Meruane’s novels Las infantas (1998) and Fruta podrida (2007), from a socioliterary perspective based on some ideas developed by Slavoj Žižek in his different analyses on violence, ideology, and power. The main objective of this work is to discover if, by way of updating, Fruta podrida could suppose a reformulation of the antisystem premises that mobilize the characters around central points in both novels, such as corporalities, marginality, and eschatological excess, among others.
