REYES MESA, FEDERICO. Fracture, Melancholy, and Impossibility: Mariateguian Socialism, the Literature of José María Arguedas, and Indigenous Social Happenings. perifrasis. rev.lit.teor.crit. [online]. 2024, vol.15, n.31, pp.65-82. Epub 26-Ene-2024. ISSN 2145-8987. https://doi.org/10.25025/perifrasis202415.31.04.
From Mariateguian socialism and "El problema de la tierra" to the logics of representation in El zorro de arriba y el zorro de abajo (1971) and Todas las sangres (1964), novels by José María Arguedas, this text addresses the variables and particularities of indigenous social happenings in Latin America through a critical analysis of representation policies and their unquestionable connection to left-wing political projects in the region, particularly in the 20th century. Based on three key notions and the relationships that arise among them -the fracture of existence, which triggers melancholy, and the political attitude, which derives from and, at the same time, arises from impossibility- some of the appearances and mentions of indigenous ontologies in Arguedas' literature are given significance, thereby revealing the relationship between cultural production and the production of worlds, between aesthetics and politics.
