Abstract

By the end of the 20th century, the territorial border that Latin-American literature had used to distribute bodies and meanings inside and outside of the national-state order was transformed into a living line passing through the biopolitical body of the population. Thus, in the ruined city of Sergio Chejfec’s El aire or in the countryside of Matilde Sánchez’ El desperdicio, the most important seems to be the biopolitical reality of the body as an object of a new territorialization of power, a mutation of sensibility as well as a new regime of significance for the novel.
