Expensive Human

I had a lot of motivation, but I lost that desire...
I wanted to make a presentation about Contemporary Chilean Literature. In particular, I was going to analyze two novels: "Hijo de Ladrón" written by Manuel Rojas and  "Tengo miedo Torero" written by Pedro Lemebel: both refer to a marginal Chile. That is the interpretation that I should make, so, both novels addresses stories silenced for the Modernization Project (development) in Chile.

Firstly, "Hijo de Ladrón" presents the life of a child: Anacleto, son of a thief recognized in the underworld of Buenos Aires. Anacleto and his brothers are orphaned and alone, as the mother dies and the father falls prisoner. Since then, the experience of the unfortunate young shows us the reality of modernity rejected, poverty becomes clear and all those popular knowledge denied. From Buenos Aires to Valparaíso, it is a travel across underworld with stops as jail, disease, sea and spiral relationship between life and death. 


Then, "Tengo miedo torero" refer the life of "la loca de la esquina", a fagot that lives in times of the excesive violence of the Militar Dictatorship. Pedro Lemebel present the story of a body rejected by the love, which is nestled in the arms of one who passes. Talk of the double standard of Chilean masculinity , located in times of struggle, where the courage needed male balls. La loca de la esquina immersed in planning the assassination attempt by the FPMR against the dictator Pinochet. A love seconded by revolution.
How can sociology address these novels? Sociology has many tools that serve to analyze these works. I am content now to mention that without these writers Chilean sociologists were able to identify the everyday problems of Chile. The marginality from the human aspect, from those who live it and not from those who see it (like sociologists)
