Discurso prescriptivo, ficción literaria y cacotopía: "La hora de la verdad", de Santiago Eximeno, en su contexto genérico = Prescriptive discourse, literary fiction and cacotopia: Santiago Eximeno’s the "Moment of Truth" in its genre context
Year: 2015
Type: article
Abstract: Several recent texts suggest that fiction is a concept which should be distinguished from the narrative. Even prescriptive discourse (rules, instructions, etc.) can be used to create a possible fictional world, without narration or characters. The example of Santiago Eximeno’s zombie fiction The Moment of Truth (2003) shows that the introduction of fantastic elements in a normative discourse can contribute to the shaping of a whole fictional universe. This presents dystopian features in the above-mentioned work, as it indicates the repressive mechanisms exercised through the prescriptive power of the State.
