GALVEZ CUEN, Marissa  e  BURROLA ENCINAS, Rosa María. The Cyborg Identity in the Narrative of Santiago Roncagliolo and Juan Cárdenas: the organic and the mechanical dichotomies in the construction of the body. Valenciana [online]. 2017, vol.10, n.20, pp.137-160. ISSN 2007-2538.  https://doi.org/10.15174/rv.v0i20.318.

The primary goal of this article is the analysis of the novels Tan cerca de la vida (2010) by the Peruvian writer Santiago Roncagliolo and Ornamento (2015) by the Colombian writer Juan Cárdenas. We examine how both texts represent the disarticulation of the idea of man as a conjunction between the body and the soul, and show a subjective “twist” in a posthuman subject, as well registered in an aesthetic and cultural foundational dimension of a new realism and designed to unravel the foundational utopias of the Spanish-American Literature and the epistemological frames of the modernity. In this analysis we turn to the theories about the cyborg subject, specially the manifesto proposed by Donna J. Haraway, as well as the analysis around the same issue by the researcher Adrián Escudero.
