- Title
PLURALISME ET CHORALITÉ DANS LA VIRGEN DE LOS SICARIOS ET EL DESBARRANCADERO DE FERNANDO VALLEJO.
- Authors
Polanco Izquierdo, Mauricio
- Abstract
This paper develops an analysis, from a comparative approach, that describes the representational functionality of Fernando, character-narrator, in two novels by Fernando Vallejo. The ideas of Jean-Luc Nancy and Vincent Message are the basis of this work's theoretical frame. First, Fernando is conceived as a pluralist character, whose construction stems from a community's heterogeneous socio-political reality, the Colombian one, with which this character keeps an indissociable link. Secondly, it is shown how Fernando becomes an aesthetic singularity, which emerges from such a pluralist state of affairs. Last, it is described how this singularity contains a polyphonic specificity that acts as a sound box, which simultaneously executes the representation of this community's plurality.
