1	El espacio, concepto crucial en Los ingrávidos de Valeria Luiselli : La creación de un ambiente fantasmal a través de la gestión de los espacios / Space as a crucial concept in Los ingrávidos by Valeria Luiselli : Thecreation of a phantom atmosphere by the representation of spaces Ascencio Dahl, Sebastian January 2023 (has links) Proponemos con esta tesina investigar cómo el uso experimental del espacio en la novela Los ingrávidos de la escritora mexicana Valeria Luiselli es crucial para crear el ambiente fragmentado y fantasmal de la obra. Las dos voces de la novela, Owen y la narradora, relatan fragmentos de sus vidas de muy diferentes épocas. Mueren y vuelven a nacer. Aparecen como fantasmas y el tiempo no es lineal. Sin embargo, sus vidas e historias se unen por medio de espacios compartidos. En la presente tesina analizamos y ponemos en evidencia cómo la autora mediante esta técnica del uso del espacio logra conectar mundos y vidas en una atmósfera de irrealidad. Hemos llegado a la conclusión que el ambiente fragmentado y fantasmal de la novela Los ingrávidos es logrado mediante el manejo del espacio. / With this thesis we intend to investigate how the experimental use of space in the novel Losingrávidos by the Mexican writer Valeria Luiselli is crucial to create the fragmented and ghostlyatmosphere of the book.

However, their lives and stories come together through sharedspaces. In this thesis we analyze and highlight how the author through this technique of the useof space manages to connect their worlds and lives in an atmosphere of unreality. We haveconcluded that the fragmented and ghostly atmosphere of the novel Los ingrávidos is achievedthrough the management of space.

2	Allegory and the Transnational Affective Field in the Contemporary Mexican Novel (1993-2013) Bernal Rodríguez, Alejandra 08 October 2019 (has links) This thesis identifies continuities and disruptions within the tradition of literary allegory in Latin America and critically revisits the category of “national allegory” (Jameson 1986) in order to articulate an interpretative model suited to contemporary “transnational allegorical fiction”. Based on the analysis of seven Mexican novels that register the transition of neoliberalism from the political-economic order to a form of biopolitical control (Althusser, Foucault, Žižek), I identify the emergence of what I call a “transnational affective field”: a symbolic horizon, alternative to the nation, where the prospective function of foundational romances (Sommer) and the retrospective function of mourning akin to postdictatorial fiction (Avelar), converge. This ideological device negotiates power relations, facilitates the transfer of local/global meaning, promotes intercultural empathy and compromise, and denounces mechanisms of exclusion; thereby, reconfiguring the affective and political functions of allegory in Latin American fiction. Part One discusses critical approaches to allegorical fiction in both Latin American and World literatures. Part Two compares the representation of the binomial nation/world in three historiographic metafictions by Carmen Boullosa, Francisco Rebolledo and J.E. Pacheco through recent approaches in post-/de-colonial and memory studies. Part Three examines the depiction of the nation as simulacrum and the figuration of postmodern subjectivities in Jorge Volpi and Juan Villoro from a poststructuralist perspective. It also contends that Álvaro Enrigue’s and Valeria Luiselli’s novels are representative of an emergent meta-allegorical imagination that, in an ironic reversal of allegory (de Man), simultaneously constructs it as a mechanism of ideological control as well as a conscious strategy to resist commodification and symbolic violence (Bourdieu) in the contemporary world. The analysis demonstrates the vitality of Mexican transnational allegorical fiction as a socio-political and affective counter-hegemonic discourse that also functions as an effective strategy of recognition in the international literary field.
