Abstract
(en) The present article analyzes three Mexican novels in light of Ruffel’s reflection on the contemporary: Guillermo Fadanelli’s Hotel DF, Jorge F. Hernández’s Réquiem para un ángel and Felipe Soto Viterbo’s Conspiración de las cosas. These novels take place in the megapolis Mexico City and continue in this way a long tradition marked by, inter alia, Carlos Monsiváis and Carlos Fuentes. The main impact of XXIth century urban environment seems to be a “spectralization” of the characters’ body: immobilized in Soto Viterbo’s novel, the body is “mortalized” in Fadanelli’s and sacrified in Hernández’s novel. These three configurations of body reflect a certain conception of realism and from there of reality.
