- Summary:
- El objetivo de esta disertacion es estudiar la representacion en la narrativa latinoamericana contemporanea de los cambios traidos por el proceso globalizador, a partir de la lectura de cuatro novelas: 2666 -2004-, de Roberto Bolano (Chile, 1953-2003); El juego de los mundos -2000 y 2019-, de Cesar Aira (Argentina, 1949); Nefando -2016-, de Monica Ojeda (Ecuador, 1988); y Kentukis -2018-, de Samanta Schweblin (Argentina, 1978). Dado que se busca entender el proceso globalizador de manera que no lo considere simple problema economico, sino tambien como problema cultural e identitario, se establecen diferencias entre los conceptos de "globalizacion" y "globalidad", y se lleva el concepto de "identidades hibridas" a la negociacion entre localidad, nacionalidad y globalidad. Para estudiar como las novelas escogidas muestran los cambios en las nociones de tiempo y espacio, a partir de la propuesta de Josefina Ludmer de leer la simultaneidad global como "tiempo cero" se usa un enfoque relacional entre personajes partiendo de la nocion de "sincronia" y se crea el concepto de "espacio 0" para describir tecnologias donde pueden manipularse objetos situados en un espacio lejano. Para definir el periodo de estudio, el modelo de la globalizacion en cinco fases de Roland Robertson se amplia a una sexta fase, a la que se llama "globalizacion digital", con la intencion de diferenciar mejor la fase actual del proceso globalizador en la que internet y las tecnologias digitales cumplen un papel vital en dicho proceso.
- The aim of this thesis is to understand the representation of the changes brought by globalization in contemporary Latin American narrative, from the reading of four novels: 2666 -2004-, by Roberto Bolano (Chile, 1953); El juego de los mundos - 2000 and 2019-, by Cesar Aira (Argentina, 1949); Nefando -2016-, by Monica Ojeda (Ecuador, 1988); and Kentukis -2018-, by Samanta Schweblin (Argentina, 1978). Since this dissertation seeks to understand the globalization process in a way that does not see it only as an economic problem, but also as a cultural problem, I establish differences between "globalization" and "globality", and I extend the concept of hybrid identities to the negotiation between locality, nationality and globality. Following Josefina Ludmer's proposal to read global simultaneity as "zero time", I use a relational approach between characters of the novel based on the notion of "synchrony" to study how the selected novels show the changes in the notions of time and space, and I create the concept of "space 0" to describe technologies where objects located at a far away distance can be manipulated. To define the period of study, Roland Robertson's five-phase model of globalization is extended to a sixth phase-"digital globalization"-to better differentiate the current phase when internet and digital technologies fulfill a major role in the globalization process.
