VILLEGAS-RESTREPO, Juan Esteban. Post-developmentalism and Buen Vivir. José María Arguedas' Los zorros. Bitácora Urbano Territorial [online]. 2016, vol.26, n.1, pp.55-62. ISSN 0124-7913.  https://doi.org/10.15446/bitacora.v26n1.42988.

This paper discusses how the novel by Peruvian writer José María Arguedas, El zorro de arriba y el zorro de abajo (1971), can sense the dangers that alternative development models such as the Buen Vivir could be subject to when critical discourses of Development theory, such as the post -development, show themselves as clear supporters. To illustrate this danger, the novel establishes a series of tensions between characters like Don Diego and Maxwell whom, based on their respective visions of buenvivirismo and post-developmentalism, try to give solutions to a city like Chimbote, one fully defined by an openly developmental urban teleology.

Keywords : Buen Vivir; post-desarrollismo; desarrollismo; El zorro de arriba y el zorro de abajo; literatura latinoamericana; Buen Vivir; Pós-desenvolvi-mentismo; Desenvolvimentismo; El zorro de arriba y el zorro de abajo; Literatura Latinoamericana.
