Abstract
espanolEl presente trabajo se propone analizar las cronicas de "Falsa calma. Un recorrido por los pueblos fantasma de la Patagonia" (2005), de la escritora argentina Maria Sonia Cristoff. Victimas del desmantelamiento del ferrocarril durante la ultima dictadura militar y las politicas privatistas de los anos 90, las localidades del Sur padecen la desintegracion territorial. En este articulo, observamos la forma en que Cristoff aborda la relacion entre las comunidades locales y la nacion como comunidad imaginada (Anderson 2003), la representacion de la alteridad desde perspectivas biopoliticas (Giorgi 2014) o poscoloniales (Said 2007) y la disputa por la hegemonia cultural (Williams 2009). En cada uno de esos ejes, analizamos la digresion (Chambers 1994; Echeverria 2005; Oliver 2016; Atkins 2017) como procedimiento que permite la deriva hacia otros textos a partir de los cuales se define la relacion entre cronica y alteridad (Todorov 2007). Asimismo, proponemos una analogia entre el movimiento de la desviacion y la integracion que toda operacion digresiva supone y los movimientos de aislamiento e integracion territorial que se presentan en el texto como problematica comunitaria. EnglishThe present work sets out to analyze the chronicles of "False Calm. A Tour of the Ghost Towns of Patagonia" (2005), by the argentine writer Maria Sonia Cristoff. Victims of the dismantling of the railway during the last military dictatorship and the privatization policies of the 90s, the southern towns suffer from territorial disintegration. In this article, we observe the way in which Cris-toff approaches the relationship between local communities and the nation as an imagined community (Anderson 2003), the representation of otherness from biopolitical (Giorgi 2014) or postcolonial perspectives (Said 2007) and the dis-pute over cultural hegemony (Williams 2009). In each of these axes, we analyze the digression (Chambers 1994; Echeverria 2005; Oliver 2016; Atkins 2017) as a procedure that allows the drift towards other texts from which the relations-hip between chronicle and alterity (Todorov 2007) is defined. Furthermore, we propose an analogy between the movement of deviation and integration that all digressive operations entail and the movements of isolation and territorial integration that are presented in the text as community problems.
