Abstract

This paper analyzes three novels by Chilean writer Diamela Eltit: Lumpérica, Los vigilantes and Los trabajadores de la muerte, considering geographical space and the body as the center of power relations and the materiality of the body as a container for a historical violence that attempts to subject it to various forms of normalization. Despite the violence inflicted, this body is also a form of resistance that enshrines, in its own materiality, narrative memory in order to retell the past and criticize the present. The aim is to develop a political interpretation of history through the body in order to interpret the signs of social and mental distress of a society that continually attempts to erase its past.
