Abstract

This paper aims to analyze two Argentine novels, Plop (2004) by Rafael Pinedo and Manigua (2009) by Carlos Ríos, with the purpose of interrogating the configurations of common life shared by many contemporary aesthetic practices in Latin America. In the exploration of the politicity of affects understood as threshold of composition and disaggregation of bodies, both novels narrate an experience of survival that posits questions about the potentialities of the living beyond the regimes of intelligibility that define normatively what is human.
