          Abstract

          El fenómeno de la inmigración hacia Estados Unidos constituye uno de los tópicos de la narrativa latinoamericana contemporánea. El espacio de las cuatro novelas de frontera, que estudiamos en este artículo desde el enfoque de los estudios culturales y de la pragmática de la comunicación literaria, dialoga con el contexto social extraliterario del viaje migratorio de los mexicanos. A través del discurso literario interpretamos el imaginario sobre la utopía prefigurada en el sueño americano, cuya cristalización es una inversión del mito: el encuentro desafortunado con otro círculo periférico donde se repite la ruina de la que partieron.

          Translated abstract

          The phenomenon of the immigration towards the United States constitutes one of the common themes of the Latin-American contemporary narrative. The space in the four border novels that we study in this article, viewed from the approach of the cultural studies and the pragmatics of the literary communication, dialogues with the extraliterary social context on the migration of the Mexicans. Through the literary discourse, we realize an interpretation of the imaginarium on the prefigured Utopia of the American Dream where its crystallization inverts the myth: the unfortunate meeting with another marginal circle that repeats the same ruin from which they departed.
