El monstruo que se repite: teratología y posthumano en Rodrigo Rey Rosa

This article investigates the relationship between social control, paranoia and science fiction in the literature of Rodrigo Rey Rosa. Through studies on the (neo-)colonial representation of monstrosity and the fictional construction of biopolitics in Latin America, aims to link the version of monstrous otherness with the paradigm of the normative and the pathological in Guatemalan society. The aim of this paper is, therefore, to demonstrate the role of science fiction in the relationship between the imaginary of scientific marginalization and the fear of technological experimentation on the human. Emphasizing the novel Los sordos (2012), the focus will be on the identity of the indigenous component and its vision of the practices of governmentality in Guatemala.
