Abstract Details

2015, Doctor of Philosophy, Ohio State University, Spanish and Portuguese.
This project starts from the premise that Roberto Bolaño’s metaliterature--a literature that talks about literature, writers and readers--; is representative of a long-standing tradition within Latin American literature. Bolaño’s work reflects upon the status of Latin American literature as an institution and, by portraying marginal writers and literary movements (real visceralismo) that do not figure into official academic literary dogma, it questions established canons and literatures. Bolaño constructs a marginal figure, Arturo Belano (co-founder of real visceralismo in The Savage Detectives), a wanna-be poet, more a reader than a writer, whose perspective on the literary profession undermines the institutional apparatus of literature and questions its legitimacy. This dissertation proposes that Bolaño has developed a narrative, or more precisely, a metanarrative that offers alternate ways of approaching Latin American literature by articulating a fiction that conspires against an official status and criticizes both cultural products and a literary profession from within. By studying Bolaño’s narrative and how it has penetrated so rapidly the very restricted US market, I propose Latin American literature ¿a literature written in Spanish¿ is reshaping cultural interactions on a global level.
