| description | Numerous Argentine dystopian narratives of this century revolve around the local neurosis of an involution towards barbarism. The motif of the regression unleashes a decolonizing movement that even reaches one's consciousness. In Un futuro radiante by Plotkin and Schweblin's Distancia de rescate, the configuration of an apocalyptic world highlights the consequences of the policies of current capitalism and leads us to review the foundations of the civilization project and the modernizing program in our country. But in addition, the imminence of the end enables in these texts a new tone emancipated from the vicissitudes of personal life and history that fictionally expresses the "promiscuous" and eminently alien character of identity. The article pauses in the analysis of the narrative strategies and formal procedures used in the texts to compose these two necessarily interconnected universes: the world of law and political control, and the world of intimacy. |
