| description | In Carne de perro and La segunda mano by Germán Marín, the trope of the immobile journey serves as a central image to represent the perception of time as frozen, linked to waiting, which redefines both the experience of the characters and that of the author within the context of exile and state violence. Through this oxymoron, we recognize a temporal aporia that gains importance as it reveals a space of tension and re-signification between states of stillness and movement. In the selected novels, we perceive the suppression of chronological time in favor of its accumulation within a bleak present. In this framework, our objective is to analyze the formation of kairological time, that is, a reconfiguration of the present that, by stretching its duration, connects the revolutionary consciousness of the characters with moments of crisis, rupture, and the breakdown of the historical continuum. Marín’s novels thus examine the moments preceding the catastrophe of September 1973 by outlining two ideologically opposed figures — members of the Vanguardia Organizada del Pueblo and Patria y Libertad —, with his narrative project capturing the tension between waiting, memory, and utopia, showing how utopian projects in Chile ultimately end in ruin, while violence persists as a historical constant. |
