MUDARRA MONTOYA, Américo. The marginal subject in the narrative of the Generation of the 50’s (Enrique Congrains, Sebastián Salazar Bondy and Julio Ramón Ribeyro): polysystems, realism and politics. Bol. Acad. peru. leng. [online]. 2022, n.72, pp.145-164.  Epub 16-Dic-2022. ISSN 0567-6002.  http://dx.doi.org/10.46744/bapl.202202.004.

This research work deals with the early works of three of the most important authors of the Generation of the 50’s: Enrique Congrains Martin, Julio Ramón Ribeyro and Sebastián Salazar Bondy; in other words, Lima, hora cero [“Lima, Zero Hour”] (1954), Los gallinazos sin plumas [“Featherless Buzzards”] (1955) and Náufragos y sobrevivientes [“The Shipwrecked and the Survivors”] (1955), respectively. Although there is some research which has studied them, no texts have yet been written to show how their aesthetic projects are articulated with respect to the ideals that guided their artistic praxis. Based on the theory of polysystems, we will explore the circumstances of interpretation of the experience of transformation that Lima and Peru underwent in the mentioned decade. That is to say, we will determine how the plurality of certain incipient groups was translated into his books of short stories. This will lead us to propose an idea of nation constructed by them, with its possibilities and limitations, since the capital city would take precedence in their vision of migration and the depersonalization of the nomad in search of insertion in the center of power.

Palabras clave : Generation of the 50’s; polysystems; realism; identity; nation.
