Desiertos urbanos y corporalidad migrante en dos novelas latinoamericanas recientes

Abstract

The two novels address the issue of migration in the hypermodern world, where marginality, survival and desire conform subjects willing or forced to explore the limits of experience and will. Starting from the notion of fluidity as a modern paradigm, the article analyzes the configurations of body and space in these novels under the perspective of their biopolitical structures. It proceeds articulating its aesthetic, urban and phenomenological surfaces through the fluctuations of the concept of sovereignty in both fields, oriented to examine its proposals on the limits of control over the subject in contemporary Latin American society.
