Abstract

BLEJER, Daniella. Explorations of Collective Amnesia about State Violence in 2666. Acta poét [online]. 2016, vol.37, n.2, pp.7-20. ISSN 2448-735X.  https://doi.org/10.19130/iifl.ap.2016.2.731.

Roberto Bolaño uses the literary development of the detective novel in order to shape the principles of his poetics. The reconsideration of genre appeals to his norms but at the same time defies them, because, while he is interested in the ability of genre to show the reflection of society, his fundamental question is literary. This text discusses the double movement in 2666 as a mechanism used to problematize the spread of systemic violence, but also, to rethink twentieth-century debates about art.

Keywords : Roberto Bolaño; 2666; crime fiction; failure of memory.
