Abstract

En 2666, Roberto Bolaño configura, situado en el desierto mexicano de Sonora, un escenario latinoamericano postapocalíptico, paradigmático estado de excepción donde proliferan, bajo una retórica cuasi-forense, monótona e inagotable de 350 páginas, innumerables cadáveres de mujeres, productos del femicidio a gran escala, vidas desnudas despojadas de existencia política. En la estructura de esta novela póstuma, inacabada, desmesurada en su extensión, Bolaño, a través de fragmentariedades, digresiones, interrupciones, despliega una auténtica poética de la inconclusión: no existe totalidad narrativa capaz de dar cuenta del carácter ilimitado del crimen y el mal absolutos experimentados durante el siglo XX. Así, leída bajo la lógica lacaniana del no-todo, esta poética de la inconclusión habilita la irrupción de lo real que interrumpe la narración, la clausura ideológica de un orden socio-simbólico perverso. In 2666, Roberto Bolaño configures, situated at the Mexican desert of Sonora, a latinamerican and post-apocalyptic scenario, a paradigmatic state of exception where, in an almost forensic style, innumerable corpses of women proliferate during more than 350 monotonous and inexhaustible pages: byproducts of a large scale femicide, nude lives deprived of political existence. In the structure of this posthumous novel, unfinished, demesured in its extension, Bolaño, through fragmentarities, digressions, interruptions, reveals an authentic poetic of inconclusion: there is no narrative totality capable to address the unlimited character of crime and absolute evil experienced during the twentieth century. This way, read under the lacanian logic of the pas-tout, this poetic of inconclusion enables the irruption of the real that interrupts the narration, the ideological closure of a perverse socio-symbolic order.
