Resumo
El presente trabajo tiene como objetivo rastrear y analizar las formas en que los escritores latinoamericanos contemporáneos que abordan los movimientos del tránsito articulan, por intermedio de sus narrativas, la intersección cuerpo-migración. De ese análisis pretende desarrollarse un estudio de la relación entre las violencias en los cuerpos derivadas de los procesos de desterritorialización, además de una exploración en las poéticas que acompañan a las mismas. Las novelas a ser estudiadas son La maravillosa vida breve de Óscar Wao, del dominicano Junot Díaz (2009); El exilio voluntario, del boliviano Claudio FerrufinoCoqueugniot (2019); y Huaco retrato, de la peruana Gabriela Wiener (2021). La naturaleza de los campos seleccionados requiere una conjugación de diferentes vertientes de análisis: los estudios migratorios, las teorías sobre el cuerpo, las teorías decoloniales y los estudios literarios sobre desterritorialización. La tesis toma como marco teórico, en primer lugar, las propuestas de Mayblin y Turner (2021) en su Migration Studies and Colonialism, que coloca la discusión sobre la premisa de que el colonialismo y la esclavitud fueron la base para los movimientos y migraciones del futuro, al tiempo de condensar elementos de autores decoloniales como Anibal Quijano (2020) y de autores poscoloniales como Frantz Fanon (2009) En la misma línea, el texto se nutre de la epistemología migrante-céntrica desarrollada por Abdelmalek Sayad (1998), que propone una teoría sobre las migraciones a partir del migrante y no del Estado acogedor, en el entendido que la relación entre ambos es desigual e históricamente ha estado caracterizada por el nacionalismo exacerbado estampado por la segunda. Finalmente, se conecta ambas corrientes con la obra Literatura sem morada fixa, del teórico Ottmar Ette (2018), la cual pone en manifiesto que, más que los espacios, lo que importan son los movimientos y, en específico, las formas que produce el movimiento en las literaturas de desterritorialización, con lo cual la figura del migrante –y la construcción de su identidad y corporeidad– se introduce en una lógica siempre dinámica y despojada de esencialismos. La metodología seguida en este trabajo parte de una teorización sobre el fenómeno migratorio que sirve para iluminar la comprensión de las dinámicas corporales dentro de las obras seleccionadas. Esto con el fin de encontrar la intersección entre cuerpo y migración y, con ello, confirmar la hipótesis de este trabajo: que las estructuras coloniales determinan la forma en la que entendemos las migraciones sur-norte y que tal situación, ilustrada por las obras literarias analizadas en este estudio, delinea las identidades nacionales y desemboca en una constante y orgánica vulneración de los cuerpos racializados.
This research aims to trace and analyze the ways in which contemporary Latin American writers addressing movements of transit articulate the body-migration intersection through their narratives. Based on this analysis, the study seeks to explore the relationship between the violence inflicted upon bodies as a result of deterritorialization processes, alongside an investigation of the poetics that accompany them. The novels selected for this study are The Brief Wondrous Life of Oscar Wao by Dominican author Junot Díaz (2009); El exilio voluntario by Bolivian author Claudio Ferrufino-Coqueugniot (2019); and Huaco Retrato by Peruvian author Gabriela Wiener (2021). The nature of these selected fields requires a conjunction of diverse analytical frameworks: migration studies, theories of the body, decolonial theories, and literary studies on deterritorialization. The theoretical framework is grounded, primarily, in the proposals of Mayblin and Turner (2021) in Migration Studies and Colonialism, which posits that colonialism and slavery formed the foundation for future movements and migrations, while integrating elements from decolonial thinkers such as Aníbal Quijano (2020) and postcolonial authors like Frantz Fanon (2009). Furthermore, the text draws upon the migrant-centric epistemology developed by Abdelmalek Sayad (1998), which proposes a theory of migration from the perspective of the migrant rather than the host State, acknowledging that their relationship is inherently unequal and historically characterized by the latter’s exacerbated nationalism. Finally, these currents are connected to Ottmar Ette’s Literature sem morada fixa (2018), which argues that movements—rather than fixed spaces—are paramount, specifically the forms produced by movement in literatures of deterritorialization. Consequently, the figure of the migrant, along with the construction of their identity and corporeality, is introduced into a dynamic logic stripped of essentialisms. The methodology proceeds from a theorization of the migratory phenomenon to illuminate the understanding of bodily dynamics within the selected works. This approach aims to identify the intersection between body and migration, thereby confirming the central hypothesis: that colonial structures determine our understanding of South-North migrations and that this situation, illustrated by the literary works analyzed, outlines national identities and results in a constant and organic violation of racialized bodies.
