Resumen
En este estudio, pretendemos analizar el potencial narrativo y las implicaciones estéticas de la noción de Antropoceno en algunas ficciones ecológicas afrolusohispánicas contemporáneas. Se tratará en particular de examinar la eficacia de dicha categoría aplicada a la literatura ambiental de los Sures, en la medida en que constituye para ella no sólo una clara preferencia temática, sino que implica también unas inflexiones estéticas y formales que merecen ser analizadas de manera sistemática. Para llevar a cabo el análisis, nos apoyaremos en un corpus de tres novelas emblemáticas de dicha estética: El padre de Blancanieves, de la novelista española Belén Gopegui (2007), Os Malaquias, de la brasileña Andréa del Fuego (2011) y Os Transparentes, del escritor angoleño Ondjaki (2012). Desde una perspectiva comparatista y contrastiva, intentaremos definir los contornos de lo que podría ser una ecocrítica afrolusohispánica, esbozando el marco epistémico-estético común a estas escrituras.
Abstract
In this piece of work, we will consider the narrative power and the aesthetical implications of the notion of Anthropocene in some contemporary ecological fictions from the African, Hispanic and Portuguese-speaking countries. The pertinence of the category applied to the environmental literature of the Souths will be examined more particularly, in so far as it constitutes not only a clear thematical preference, but also because it implies some significant aesthetical and formal inflexions which should be analyzed in a systematic way. In order to see the analysis through, we will rely on three novels which are deemed representative of such an aesthetic: El padre de Blancanieves, written by the Spanish novelist Belén Gopegui (2007), Os Malaquias, by the Brasilian novelist Andréa del Fuego (2011) and Os Transparentes, by the Angolan novelist Ondjaki (2012). In a comparatist and contrastive perspective, we will try and bring out the epistemico-aesthetical basis which these writings have in common
