Pliegues ciudadanos: historia, violencia y subalternidad en Barrio bravo de Luis Cornejo

Abstract

In the text Barrio bravo (1955) Chilean writer Luis Cornejo, both places as experiences narrated by the author, weave a collective vision of subservience to the mid-twentieth century in Chile. Through a set of milestones and events framed in a coordinate spatiotemporal marked for life in the santiaguinos conventillo, is built one whose historical-literary microhistory configuration develops in opposition or resistance to the regime of nationalist order since the nineteenth century regulates politically and culturally Chilean society..
