- Title
El arte como gramática de la vida: Turbulencia al búmeran.
- Authors
Ávalos Flórez, Edison Duván
- Abstract
The article analyzes the work of Alexis Uscátegui, who seeks the excluded discourses of the national imaginary in Latin America, especially in Amazonian novels. Uscátegui seeks a resistant perspective against hegemonic discourses and revalues works that challenge stereotypes. His book "Turbulence to the Boomerang" reflects on literature, film, and aesthetics, exploring various themes such as the relationship between the critic and the author, the writer's relationship with their typewriter, the necropolitical relationship between Nazi Germany and rubber companies in the Amazon, notions of limits and borders, and the meaning of the jungle for Americans in the Vietnam War. The book proposes an original and insightful rereading of these works, inviting us to reconsider our conception of art as a grammar of life.
