DIAZ-IBANEZ, Andrés. Un mundo huérfano by Giuseppe Caputo: the reconfiguration of the fragmented body through representation. La Palabra [online]. 2021, n.41, pp.134-148.  Epub 05-Maio-2022. ISSN 0121-8530.  https://doi.org/10.19053/01218530.n41.2021.13668.

From a critical reading of the novel Un mundo huérfano (2016) by Giuseppe Caputo (Barranquilla, 1982), this article aims to trace the presence and dialogue that is established in it with the category of a defined body, according to the scope of queer theory, such as performance and theatricality, in which neither gender nor sex are determining factors, and in which two interests of the author play an important role: the oxymoron and fragmentation to operate the reconstruction of said body that also may be read as a text. After reading, it is considered that the novel represents in itself the thematization of the main questions that concern queer theory and its elaborations of the concepts of gender and sex -as well as the elaboration of the body category and its communicating vessels and aesthetic explorations in the materiality of the text.

Palavras-chave : body; Colombian novel; creative writing; gender; queer theory.
