Ficciones etnográficas en la narrativa de Chejfec y Bizzio Sánchez, Silvina Angertine literature Sergio Chejfec Sergio Bizzio Otherness Ethnography Literatura argentina Sergio Chejfec Sergio Bizzio Alteridad Etnografía The article examines Boca de lobo by Sergio Chejfec and Rabia by Sergio Bizzio, and proposes a shift in reading protocols that typically prioritize the issue of realism, instead placing other questions at the center: what populations does fiction summon and what relationships of inclusion or exclusion does it establish? How does it address social, economic, and cultural differences? How does it shape relationships of domination and bodily, symbolic, and verbal violence? The article argues that the novels reactivate the constitutive transformation of modern fiction (Rancière) and shift towards the margins, embracing minor and inconsequential subjects, individuals who occupy a subordinate position in power relations. In doing so, the fictions reconfigure the territory of the visible and the sayable, constructing a symbolic topography that problematizes the forms of perception and knowledge of subjects marked by differences. Additionally, the article considers both novels as “ethnographic fictions”, which explore relationships with social and cultural others as a cognitive endeavor, and in this direction, it analyzes how they appropriate the figure of the ethnographer and reveal the risks, difficulties, and limitations of that ethnographic task. El artículo estudia Boca de lobo de Sergio Chejfec y Rabia de Sergio Bizzio, proponiendo un desplazamiento de los protocolos de lectura que privilegian el problema del realismo, para colocar en el centro otros interrogantes: qué poblaciones convoca la ficción y qué relaciones de inclusión o exclusión instituye, cómo aborda las diferencias sociales, económicas y culturales; cómo configura las relaciones de dominación y las violencias corporales, simbólicas y verbales. Se postula que las novelas reactualizan la transformación constitutiva de la ficción moderna (Rancière), y efectúan un corrimiento hacia los bordes, acogiendo a sujetos menores e intrascendentes, sujetos que ocupan un lugar subalterno en las relaciones de dominación. De este modo, las ficciones reconfiguran el territorio de lo visible y de lo decible; construyen una topografía simbólica que problematiza las formas de percepción y de conocimiento de los sujetos marcados por las diferencias. Además, el artículo concibe a ambas novelas como “ficciones etnográficas”, que trabajan las relaciones con los otros sociales y culturales en tanto afán cognoscitivo, y en esta dirección se analiza cómo se apropian de la figura del etnógrafo y muestran los riesgos, las dificultades y los límites de ese cometido etnográfico.
