          Abstract

          Resumen En este trabajo, buscamos analizar la poética de la muerte en los procesos migratorios contemporáneos representados por el ciclo infernal de los migrantes que cruzan la frontera en Las tierras Arrasadas (2015) del escritor mexicano Emiliano Monge. La lengua de la novela está compuesta por voces fragmentarias, testimoniales, murmullos de los vivos y de los muertos, cuyas historias son interrumpidas, devastadas. El valor testimonial cruza el límite de la ficción y da una dimensión distinta al relato al evitar la banalización de la violencia. Los cuerpos de los migrantes, residuales y despojados de sentido, están a la merced de seres abyectos. En el presente artículo, estudiaremos cómo el espacio trágico de la frontera recrea, en un relato frenético que se caracteriza por el delirio, la violencia y la pérdida de la esperanza, lo que el autor presenta como el “último holocausto de la especie” (341).

          Abstract In this work, we seek to analyze the poetics of death in the con- temporary migratory processes represented by the infernal cycle of migrants crossing the border in las tierras arrasadas (2015) by Mexican writer Emiliano Monge. The language of the novel is composed of fragmentary voices, testimonials, mur- murs of the living and the dead, whose stories are interrupted and devastated. The testimonial value crosses the limit of fic- tion and gives a different dimension to the story by avoiding the trivialization of violence. The bodies of migrants, residual and devoid of meaning, are at the mercy of abject beings. In the pre- sent article, we will study how, in a frenetic tale characterized by delirium, violence and the loss of hope, the tragic space of the border recreates what the author presents as our “species last holocaust” (341).
