DOMINGO AMESTOY, Susana. "We are Taking You to Attend the Birth of History": Tlatelolco in Carlos Fuentes's Los 68: Paris, Praga, México and Roberto Bolaño's Amuleto. perifrasis. rev.lit.teor.crit. [online]. 2012, vol.3, n.6, pp.42-54. ISSN 2145-8987.
This paper analyzes Roberto Bolaño's Amuleto (1999), and in particular its interest in the cotemporary limits of political resistance. The essay subsequently juxtaposes the novel's depiction of the massacre at Tlateloco with Carlos Fuentes' Los 68: Paris, Praga, México (2005), and its use of both a non-fictional memoir of Paris in 1968 and a fictionalized account of Tlateloco. Ultimately, this essay demonstrates how Los 68 attempts to recuperate a kind of subjectivity in which utopian imaginaries defined the 1960s, but which Amuleto's mobilization of allegory reveals as emptied out.
