| Résumé anglais |
The revolution novel constitute, within the Mexican literature corpus, one special foundational narrative gender, what Bhabba called Nation's foundational or narrative fictions. Heterogeneous in spite of being included in one same generic category, revolution novels have been essentials in stereotypes elaboration. Especially, in those that represents the armed confrontations period can be read the popular other's figure construction, in this moment embodied in the revolutionary fighter's body. Novels that put in scene the hard relationship between this object and the writers who address it, from an non saveable discrepancy situation that reach its highest peak in treatment of topics that are essentials for this matter : the problem of violence ethic justification, origins of the fight, personages morality besieged between heroic dimension that is expected from them and the observation – classist – of their own limits. Moreover, we would like to analyze two pieces, Los de abajo by Azuela and Cartucho, by Nellie Campobello, revolution's eccentric novel. Our hypothesis is that what have been read in both texts as untidiness, composition limitation, fruit of too Little revision or told events biographical determination can be understood with a different code : as an expression and symptom of the conflict in the other's representation and as a search, from the author voice, of positioning and narrative strategies that investigate and witness the representation difficulties.
