Resumen
This issue of América sin nombre plans to explore some of the components turned into essential resources and lines of strength in the construction of the impossible monster in several modalities of non-mimetic Latin American narratives in the last decades (1980-2021). To that end, we consider that it is fruitful to combine panoramic, historic and comparative perspectives with individual analysis of the work of writers from diverse generations that, in the last forty years, have approached the figure of the monster from literary aesthetics which are external to realism. Specifically, we centre our attention on the meaning of various thematic, structural, cognitive and/or representative elements which go through monstrosity in the narrative of Chile, Mexico, Peru, Argentina, Cuba, and Ecuador. The studies developed in the present monograph allow to confirm the subversive and ideological capacity of the unusual monster in the recent Latin American narrative and the critical reading this monster emphasises.
