Abstract
In our Constitution, torture is a crime; but in the minds of many, surviving torture is also a crime, or implies a crime... Todavía no hemos comprendido bien la función social de la literatura en este contexto de la pos- ciudad letrada, cuando aparentemente se ha abandonado la esperanza de que las letras humanísticas deben de estar en el centro de la ciudadanía cultural como un dique en contra del autoritarismo y la "barbarie". "The novel is the process by which language submits to the conventions of rhetoric at the service of power, in order to show that writing does not afford the kind of individual self-presence that the [state] bureaucracy promises... Yet language does submit to the models of rhetoric, in a mimetic move that appeals to the freedom from authority afforded by the functionality of rhetoric and of language itself."
