This work investigates the literary representation of affections through a set of compositional resources such as fragmentation and narrative discontinuity in the novel La isla de Fushía by Irma del Águila. Through its intertextual relations with the works of Mario Vargas Llosa La casa verde [The Green House] and Historia secreta de una novela, we highlight how to address political concerns related to the environmental (and affective) impact of extractive processes. We are interested in reviewing the alternation between affection and extractivism, based on the deployment of a cartography of the Amazonian territory while taking a distance from the literary regionalism of the beginnings of the 20th century. So, the idea is to reveal how the inclusion of an affective and geographic map has the purpose of evoking personal and colonial traumas, the recovery of the voices of the jungle, more about the testimony about the subjection to the conditions imposed by the influence of the Capitalocene that of its representation in so much vernacular exoticism.

Palabras clave : affects; extractivism; fragmentation; regionalism; trauma.
