Resumen
Descripción
Este trabajo explora la crítica que trasunta la metáfora del hombre–vehículo en
el cuento El arco en el cielo y en la novela País portátil de Adriano González León, de cara
al discurso hegemónico que acompaña el desarrollo y el uso de sistemas de transporte. A
través de una lectura atenta a la relación que mantienen los personajes con los medios de
transporte, se revela un intercambio de propiedades y de competencias en que las mutuas
limitaciones, lo falible y lo destructivo deshacen la ilusión del progreso sociotécnico. La
percepción del tiempo como un desplazamiento sin meta y del espacio como encierro descubre
el imaginario desecantado de los personajes. Sin embargo, esta misma conciencia es
acicate de reflexión en torno al sentido de la vida y del ser sociotécnico.
With the man–truck of the story The arch in the sky and the ‘man–tire’, as it will be nicknamed the protagonist of Portable country, Adriano González León deepens a reflection started in his stories Asphalt-hell (1962) on the interaction between people and the means of mobility within the framework of the power relations that sustain these interactions. Following the postulate of Bruno Latour in his book The Hope of Pandora, which explores the intrinsic relationship between the human and the nonhuman, and that the works of González León fictionalize, this paper explores the criticism within the metaphor of the man-vehicle in the face of the official discourse that accompanies the development and use of transport systems. Some of the relevant aspects to deal with in this context are the perception of time and space in the imaginary of these characters and how they articulate a cultural memory that differs from the progressive and linear version of power entities.
