Máscaras de una identidad oculta. Una lectura de "Señales captadas en el corazón de una fiesta" de Rodrigo Fresán

Abstract

This study focuses on how glocalization is manifested in the personal history of the story ́s protagonist: a man living in an end of the century Latin American society, who, by narrating his experiences, construes and shows certain aspects of his own biography. The staging of this is accompanied by the constant presence of elements representative of pop culture, which is inspired by the most immediate aspects of the consumerist society, those produced by technology and advertising. However, in his intimacy, while reflecting on his experiences and feelings, as well as confronting them with his imaginary globalising constructions, the protagonist understands his unavoidable marginality, the difference that makes him unable to find a sense of belonging.
