Brice Chamouleau, « La debacle en la lengua. Presentismo y tanatopolítica en La parte de los crímenes, 2666, de Roberto Bolaño. », HALSHS : archive ouverte en Sciences de l’Homme et de la Société - notices sans texte intégral, ID : 10.4000/lirico.13505
La parte de los crímenes, a section of Bolaño's novel 2666, is taken here as part of a reflection on leftist melancholy, reading the text with Elías Palti's contributions on the epistemic debacle of the left after the 1989/1991 cycle. The aim is to articulate a post-metaphysical reading of the closure of the present in presentism where the motif of melancholy goes hand in hand with a barbaric feminicidal thanatopolitics. Rather than sociologically naturalising the forms and objects of predation in the context of an already savage capitalism with a fascist tradition, the reading of the horizon of the left here situates the field of action in language itself as a place of deactivation of a renewed and uncomfortable "grey zone".
