Description
Summary:The present article examines three works by Roberto Bolaño, who put the ballistic Effigies through narratology and cultural anthropology, who expose new uses for urban space by avoiding a symbolic imaginary controlled by the spatial functions of a disguised overmodernity. In this way, the analysis covers its axiological negativity, its ethical anomaly and the inconstancy of its constitutive definitions as characters, which are representations of evil in modern thought in America. It is a trajectory of the existential vacuum, impressions that will be repeated intermittently as anthropological structures from the regime of the image.
