Abstract Hipotermia by the Mexican author Álvaro Enrigue was published in 2006. Even though it is considered an example of the most recent Latin American narrative, reflecting on the effects of globalization and neoliberalism in Mexico, the most evident effect of which is a blurring of the idea of nation, it has not been well acknowledged for depicting the incertitude of our days in a more social way. In this article I read Hipotermia as a novel where the Writer (as a social representation of the intellectual) deals with a creative block as a result of his anxiety regarding the traditional concept of an author in the boom period (1970s). The way he works through it consists in a fictional project about non-epic characters. As a result of this, the book creates a mosaic of voices that can be identified as experiences of the middle class in the context of a global society. I try to prove that the concept of “Global Class,” developed by Saskia Sassen, describes Enrigue’s conception of both the exile’s experience and the middle class’s subjectivity.

Narrar después del “boom”：la clase media y la desnacionalización en Hipoteria de Álvaro Enrigue

摘要 墨西哥作家阿尔瓦罗·恩里格 (Álvaro Enrigue) 的《Hipoteria》于 2006 年出版。尽管它被认为是拉丁美洲最新叙事的一个例子，反映了全球化和新自由主义在墨西哥的影响，其最明显的影响是模糊了国家的概念，它并没有被广泛承认，因为它以一种更具社会性的方式描绘了我们时代的不确定性。在这篇文章中，我将 Hipotermia 视为一部小说，其中作家（作为知识分子的社会代表）处理创作障碍，这是由于他对繁荣时期（1970 年代）的传统作者概念感到焦虑的结果。他通过它的工作方式包括一个关于非史诗人物的虚构项目。结果，这本书创造了可以被识别为全球社会背景下中产阶级经验的声音马赛克。我试图证明由 Saskia Sassen 提出的“全球阶级”概念描述了恩里格关于流亡经历和中产阶级主观性的概念。
