Abstract

ROJAS-CASTRO, Braulio. Ascendant theory of power, colonial contract and national literature. The porteñas' lower classes and the narrative of the port of Valparaíso as political and cultural dissidence. Letras [online]. 2020, vol.91, n.134, pp.97-121. ISSN 0378-4878.  http://dx.doi.org/10.30920/letras.91.134.5.

In this article, a genealogy of the configuration of "national literature" as opposed to "regional literatures" and "marginal literatures" is made. This work is done from a genealogy of the formation of the lower classes in Chile as an expression of the emancipatory political power that is mobilized in modernity from the deployment of the ascendant theory of power and Hispanic municipalism, in the formation of the Republic of Chile and of the Chilean sociability from social history to the theory of colonial contract. This will allow to highlight the processes of political and cultural organization of the lower classes in Valparaiso, expressed in writings, although they are marginalized from the national literary canon in the context of unit constructions of the nation, are vehicles of a geopoetic port and of the lower class from a position of dissident minority.

Keywords : Dissent; Ascendant theory of power; Colonial contract; Minority; Port geopoetics.
