Abstract

SANCHEZ IDIART, María Cecilia. OVERFLOWING. LIFE, POLITICS AND AESTHETICS OF EXCESS IN OSVALDO LAMBORGHINI AND DIAMELA ELTIT. perifrasis. rev.lit.teor.crit. [online]. 2016, vol.7, n.13, pp.10-25. ISSN 2145-8987.

This article aims to analyze the modes in which two contemporary Latin American fictions, Sebregondi retrocede (1973) by Osvaldo Lamborghini and Impuesto a la carne (2010) by Diamela Eltit, problematize the relationships between knowledge about bodies and politics of government of life. From a language that overflows the normativity of biopower, these fictions interrogate the technologies of production of bodies and subjectivities, at the same time that they configure an aesthetics of excess that reinvents the materiality of the living through the affective potency of the flesh.

Keywords : biopolitics; excess; body; affect; contemporary Latin American literature.
