Abstract

This article investigates the relationship between social control, paranoia and science fiction in the literature of Rodrigo Rey Rosa. Through studies on the (neo-)colonial representation of monstrosity and the fictional construction of biopolitics in Latin America, aims to link the version of monstrous otherness with the paradigm of the normative and the pathological in Guatemalan society. The aim of this paper is, therefore, to demonstrate the role of science fiction in the relationship between the imaginary of scientific marginalization and the fear of technological experimentation on the human. Emphasizing the novel Los sordos (2012), the focus will be on the identity of the indigenous component and its vision of the practices of governmentality in Guatemala.

Este artículo investiga la relación entre control social, paranoia y ciencia ficción en la literatura de Rodrigo Rey Rosa. En particular, a través de los estudios sobre la representación (neo)colonial de la monstruosidad y la construcción ficcional de la biopolítica en América Latina, quiere relacionar la versión de la otredad monstruosa con el paradigma de lo normado y lo patológico en la sociedad guatemalteca. Objetivo de este trabajo es, por lo tanto, demostrar el papel de la ciencia ficción en la relación entre imaginario de la marginalización científica y miedo a las experimentaciones tecnológicas sobre lo humano. Haciendo hincapié en la novela Los sordos (2012), el enfoque se centrará en la identidad de la componente indígena y su visión de las prácticas de gubernamentalidad en Guatemala.
