La intención de este artículo es demostrar, a partir del análisis de la novela Carne de perra, de la escritora chilena Fátima Sime, la legitimidad y persistencia de un imaginario social que se resiste a desaparecer de la trama simbólica del Chile de la postdictadura. Se trata de una disposición colectiva a revitalizar la memoria del país, para no permitir que el olvido se superponga a la necesidad de vivenciar definitivamente el duelo colectivo, hasta hoy suspendido en el tiempo. La novela aquí revisada procesa y elabora estéticamente las demandas de ese discurso social.
Abstract
Through an analysis of the novel Carne de perra by Chilean author Fátima Sime, this article aims to demonstrate the legitimate, enduring social construction that persists in the symbolic realm within post-dictatorship Chile. It addresses a shared determination to revive the collective memory to allow the as yet uncompleted collective mourning process to take place before fading into oblivion. The novel reviewed here esthetically processes and elaborates upon the claims of that social discourse.
