Abstract

This article aims to analyse Diamela Eltit's peculiar reflection on the global world and its pathologies. In her novels, the author traces a series of figures that disrupt the imaginary of the globalization, make explicit areas of dissidence and show possible lines of escape. Eltit's 'itinerant thinking' is made concrete through three movements on the margins: excavation, cracking and inhabiting, which well express the action of the protagonists of three novels: Los trabajadores de la muerte (1998); Mano de obra (2002) and Sumar (2018), dissident citizens who impose their presence and difference on the textual plot and mark an alternative horizon of integration and solidarity.
El presente artículo se propone analizar la peculiar reflexión de Diamela Eltit sobre el mundo global y sus patologías. La autora, en sus novelas, traza una serie de cuerpos en figura que trastocan el imaginario sin fisuras del mundo-mercado, explicitan zonas de disidencia y muestran posibles líneas de fuga. El ‘pensamiento ambulante’ de Eltit se concreta a través de tres movimientos en los márgenes: excavar, agrietar y habitar, que bien expresan la acción de los protagonistas de tres novelas: Los trabajadores de la muerte (1998); Mano de obra (2002) y Sumar (2018), ciudadanos incómodos que imponen su presencia y diferencia en la trama textual y marcan un horizonte alternativo, de integración y solidaridad.
