La ficción teórica en Juan José Saer Muñiz, Ignacio fiction speculative anthropology subjectivity capitalist realism imagination ficción antropología especulativa subjetividad realismo capitalista imaginación The problem of fiction is a vast area of inquiries that frequently exceed the specificity of literature. This theoretical and critical "excess" of fiction can be traced to the amount and the nature of the questions it raises: the relationship between fiction and reality, the relationship between fiction and truth and the relationship between fiction and politics, to name a few areas of examination. In this article we intend to investigate the place that the problem of fiction occupies in contemporary debates about capitalism, subjectivity and imagination and, from the operative notion of theoretical fiction, to examine and reconstruct the theory of fiction of Juan José Saer, present both in essays (El concepto de ficción) and in fictional texts (“Traoré”; “En línea”, “Lo visible”; “Cosas soñadas”) and which we believe it is possible to link to contemporary criticism and aesthetics. Centrally, we propose that the saerian idea of fiction as speculative anthropology is projected onto discussions close to posthumanism that see in fiction and literature the affirmation of a reality that does not exclude the non-existent and unverifiable and the expansion of the political horizons of an in-real ontology. La problemática de la ficción es una vasta zona de interrogaciones que no pocas veces excede la especificidad literaria. Este “exceso” teórico-crítico de la ficción puede ubicarse en la cantidad y el tipo de problemas al que da lugar: la relación entre la ficción y lo real, la relación entre la ficción y la verdad, la relación entre la ficción y la política, por nombrar algunas zonas de interrogantes. En este artículo nos proponemos indagar el lugar que ocupa la problemática de la ficción en las discusiones contemporáneas sobre capEitalismo, subjetividad e imaginación y, a partir de la noción operativa de ficción teórica, indagar y reconstruir la teoría de la ficción de Juan José Saer, que ubicamos tanto en textos ensayísticos (El concepto de ficción) como en textos ficcionales (“Traoré”; “En línea”, “Lo visible”; “Cosas soñadas”) y a la que creemos posible emparentar con la crítica y la estética contemporáneas. Centralmente, planteamos que la idea saeriana de ficción como antropología especulativa se proyecta en debates próximos al posthumanismo que ven en la ficción y en la literatura la afirmación de una realidad que no excluye lo no existente e inverificable y la ampliación de los horizontes políticos de una ontología in-real.

The problem of fiction is a vast area of inquiries that frequently exceed the specificity of literature. This theoretical and critical "excess" of fiction can be traced to the amount and the nature of the questions it raises: the relationship between fiction and reality, the relationship between fiction and truth and the relationship between fiction and politics, to name a few areas of examination. In this article we intend to investigate the place that the problem of fiction occupies in contemporary debates about capitalism, subjectivity and imagination and, from the operative notion of theoretical fiction, to examine and reconstruct the theory of fiction of Juan José Saer, present both in essays (El concepto de ficción) and in fictional texts (“Traoré”; “En línea”, “Lo visible”; “Cosas soñadas”) and which we believe it is possible to link to contemporary criticism and aesthetics. Centrally, we propose that the saerian idea of fiction as speculative anthropology is projected onto discussions close to posthumanism that see in fiction and literature the affirmation of a reality that does not exclude the non-existent and unverifiable and the expansion of the political horizons of an in-real ontology. |
