NAZIS AND INFAMOUS

discursive approaches between Bolaño and Foucault

Abstract

The idea of ​​this text is to trace the possible relationships between the books A literatura nazista na América and La vida de los hombres infames, written respectively by Roberto Bolaño and Michel Foucault. In these two writings, the authors “play” with fiction and non-fiction, by building a kind of dictionary of men Nazis or infamous, as well as “jumping” between philosophy, literature and politics, as they describe new subjects of discourse, individuals who emerged in modernity, and who in the 20th century, formed a kind of canon of Nazis and infamous people. In this sense, when analyzing these two books comparatively, the purpose of this article is to examine these new subjects, entities that share a kind of common evil, certain experience of the 20th century, the space between borders of people and movements, entities that support, even in the Americas, movements of both the right and the left.
