- Title
Materia prima e historia en Muñecas.
- Authors
Hoyos, Héctor
- Abstract
The essay shows how rubber extractivism and the Holocaust converge in Muñecas (2008) by Ariel Magnus. First, it situates the novel within the double trajectory of narratives of rubber and of trauma. It then speculates that a desire for absolute control defines human relationship with rubber; such a desire, in turn, would impact the literary language that represents and eventually repairs that relationship. Lastly, the article proposes a transcultural interpretation of the role of so-called "raw" material within historical materialism.
