| Sumario: | This article presents a comparative critical view of some directions taken by Brazilian and Chilean contemporary fiction (in the context of the Southern Cone as a whole), through the interpretation of two novellas, namely De mim já nem se lembra (2007, revised and expanded in 2016) by Luiz Ruffato, and Chilean Electric (2015) by Nona Fernández. I analyze formal and thematic aspects of these novellas that convey aesthetic and political stances, establishing links to other contemporary narratives. Specifically, I discuss elements pertaining to new forms of Realism and Representation (indexal realism), the limits and intermingling of Memory, History, and Fiction (Autofiction) and the possibility of the Fictional Recovery of the Self, both as subjectivity and identity. |
