| Sumario: | José María Arguedas’ literary oeuvre is usually studied as part of the Indigenist movement. This means, as Antonio Cornejo Polar has explained, a relationship with a rural Andean referent. However, several of his works, and notoriously his posthumous novel El zorro de arriba y el zorro de abajo, show a displacement to urban settings, thus expressing a central process in Peruvian society, the trajectory of the migrant subject. Arguedas’ oeuvre does not represent an archaic utopia (as Vargas Llosa supposed), on the contrary, it implies a complex dialogue with Modernity. |
