La literatura peruana más allá de la frontera : la doble ausencia en los cuentos de Gunter Silva Passuni y Daniel Alarcón

The present work aims to include the works Crónicas de Londres (2012) by Gunter Silva Passuni and War by Candlelight: Stories (2005) by Daniel Alarcón in the Latin American migrant literature paradigm. The two Peruvian authors writes from Anglo-Saxon lands focusing on the complexity of the migrant subject in his double epistemic condition, emigrate and immigrate, related to the “double absence” theorized by Sayad and materialized in the texts through an intricate system of false presences and irreparable absences. Thanks to the set of symbolic and narrative strategies used by the authors, the bicultural literary experience becomes the only possibility for ubiquity and for a cultural reset of a subject in transit, in the border.
