Con(s)ciencia antisistema en la poética de Lina Meruane.

The following article proposes a review of the thematic and structural presuppositions used in Lina Meruane’s novels Las infantas (1998) and Fruta podrida (2007), from a socioliterary perspective based on some ideas developed by Slavoj Žižek in his different analyses on violence, ideology, and power. The main objective of this work is to discover if, by way of updating, Fruta podrida could suppose a reformulation of the antisystem premises that mobilize the characters around central points in both novels, such as corporalities, marginality, and eschatological excess, among others.
