RICARDO PIGLIA Y ROBERTO BOLAÑO: TRADICIÓN Y NARRATIVIDAD

Abstract

This article investigates the relationship between a concept of power and the literary tradition,\nas it is conceived by Ricardo Piglia and Roberto Bolaño in their critical essays. We\nanalyze in the first place in what sense this subject has already been studied regarding\nBolaño and Piglia, in order to question how one can speak of literary tradition as a form\nof power. Then we study the critical judgment of figures such as Roberto Arlt and Jorge\nLuis Borges within the critical texts of Piglia and Bolaño. At the end we show how this\ncritical approaches to the tradition point out fundamental characteristics of their idea of\nliterature and of a literary form developed by both of them: sequential narrativity.
