その他の書誌記述:This paper analyzes the stories “Enmascarados” by Claudia Hernández and “Una visa para Jairo” by Mauricio Orellana. The objective is to propose the representations of Jairo and the child, respectively, as well as the spaces in the stories, as an aesthetic resource to evidence the dehumanization of the migrant characters. The stories expose an animalization that hierarchizes human life over animal life based on what Giorgio Agamben (2006) calls the modern anthropological machine. At the same time, the spaces in which this animalization takes place have a public, open, and transitory character, which evidence a performative transformation, in terms of Richard Schechner (2012), which at the same time can be understood from the space-time relationship of Doreen Massey (2012). The results of the analysis show literary strategies that combine the ethical and the aesthetic to evidence the dehumanization of migrant transit.
