Golosina canibal 2.0

Abstract

 An analysis of the presence of the topic "cannibal" in recent Argentine literature. This article offers a reading of the novel El Entenado (1982) by Juan José Saer, observing the way in which it is inserted within the system of the author 's work and within the Argentinean literary canon. The Saerian heritage is resignified from the figure of cannibalism and its presence in cultural studies. It is a matter of thinking of "cannibalism" as a theme where the opposition between the interior and exterior is relativized by founding an exuberant de-colonial polysemy that challenges the stigma of savagery and barbarism with which classical historiography has characterized the New World. The cannibal cleavage of texts published after the year 2000 -texts singularly crossed by the experience of the migration- makes dance in the pendulum of the culture the knowledge and the flavor, the eating and the being-eaten.
