NARCOTICS CONTAMINATIONS: 2666 BY ROBERTO BOLAÑO
Keywords:
Narco-narrative, literature and violence, 2666, capitalism in literatureAbstract
This article considers the specificity of narco-literary imagination in 2666 by Roberto Bolaño. This lies in the mutual contamination of three thematic elements. First, violence, establishing an historical continuity between the massacres of the Second World War and femicides in the city of Santa Teresa. Second, the phenomenon of intoxication considered as profane illumination, both in terms of narcotic and aesthetic experience. Finally, the border capitalism replacing capital by accumulating corpses.
