Abstract

This article explores the affective resonances of three stories from Mariana Enriquez’s Las cosas que perdimos en el fuego (2016). Although fear is the predominant emotion evoked in Enriquez’s brand of political horror, there is considerable depth and complexity to her stories, in terms of both the emotional content portrayed in them and the readerly solicitation staged through the narratives’ formal and stylistic qualities. The synergies between fear, disgust, unease, guilt and other ‘ugly feelings’ result in an overall mood of disquietude that underlies the aesthetic and political potency of Enriquez’s fiction.

摘要

本文探讨了玛丽安娜·恩里克兹（Mariana Enriquez）的《Las cosas que perdimos en el fuego》（2016）中三个故事的情感共鸣。尽管恐惧是恩里克兹（Enriquez）的政治恐怖烙印中最主要的情绪，但无论从故事中表现出的情感内容还是通过叙事的形式和文体品质所引起的读者的热诚，她的故事都具有相当的深度和复杂性。恐惧，厌恶，不安，内和其他“丑陋的感觉”之间的协同作用导致整体的不安情绪，这是恩里克兹小说的美学和政治潜能的基础。
