The present thesis is an experiment in adaptation of one of Roberto Payró's plays for staging in English. Sobre las Ruinas was chosen both because it is one of the best known of his works and because no previous translation is known to exist.

En esta investigación se afirma que el eje de la propuesta ético-estética del escritor chileno Roberto Bolaño (1953-2003) es una particular noción de «margen», elemento que en su narrativa no sólo actuará con la estática finalidad de reconocer un límite que separe un interior de un exterior (es decir, un «marco», en el que puede advertirse dónde acaba y dónde comienza una realidad fenomenológica), sino que ese «margen», debido a sus particulares y dinámicas características, tenderá en su literatura a abrirse paulatinamente, o bien a desbaratarse con violencia, mezclando en un mismo espacio interioridad y exterioridad, centro y periferia. En su narrativa, Roberto Bolaño parece situar sus tramas y a sus personajes en los «bordes» (tanto argumentales como ideológicos) y desde allí poner en entredichos los materiales plausibles de volverse literatura. Situado en esta compleja «frontera», Bolaño procurará introducir una serie de discursos y herramientas narrativas «marginales» donde el sistema binario interior/exterior (asumiéndolo como una variante de centro/periferia) quedará desmantelado. Así, este trabajo se propone estudiar pormenorizadamente esa noción de «margen» donde el espacio literario parece absorber personajes y temáticas consideradas «anticanónicas» para producir una «textualidad» en constante dinamismo. / This investigation affirms that the axis of the ethical-aesthetical proposal of the Chilean writer Roberto Bolaño (1953-2003) constitutes a particular notion of “margin”. This margin will not only act in his narrative with the stationary objective of recognizing a limit that separates an interior from an exterior (a "frame" in which we can define where a fenomenological reality begins and ends); that margin will also tend, due to its particular and dynamic characteristics, to open gradually or destroy itself violently, mixing interior and exterior, center and periphery in the same space. In his narrative, Roberto Bolaño seems to situate his topics and characters in the “edges” (both, argumentative and ideological) and, from those ends, question the material which could become literature. Situated in this complex “border”, Bolaño will try to introduce a series of “marginal” speeches and narrative tools where the binary interior/exterior system (assuming it as a variant of center/periphery) will be dismantled. Thus, this work proposes to study in detail that notion of “margin”, where the literary space seems to absorb characters and topics considered “anti-canonical” to reproduce a “textuality” in constant dynamism.
