| Résumé anglais |
Between the futuristic novel, sciences fiction and the fantastic genre, Promesas naturales by Oliverio Coelho builds a suffocating universe. An omnipotent and distant State classifies individuals from the day they were born, distribute themselves selectively in space and excludes all those who do not meet the requirements. Bernina, the protagonist, has been torn from her native space to which she tries to go back. Her strolling allows the representation of these world-spaces, inhabited by hybrid or monstrous characters that represent a hyperbolic condensation of certain tendencies of society which lie within the framework of the globalized capitalism. We will study the symbolic implications of the vacilación de la forma (the hesitation of form) or of the deformity and all its variations. Monstrosity opens interstices at the surface of what is represented, through which humour, parody and irony penetrate in the hybrid body of the text, denuding and establishing not only the precariousness of the being but also the precariousness of its representation.
