The self-exploitation of the protagonists of the novel is one of the representations of positive violence, which is imperceptible and, therefore, more harmful and dangerous because the subjects do not realize the self-inflicted damage until it is too late. In this sense, the dark room that a group of friends share for fifteen years is transformed into the space to get away from the vertigo, hustle and bustle and the obligations that transform the person into a prisoner of their own mandates and the implicit demands of the neoliberal system. La habitación oscura (2013) de Isaac Rosa advierte, a través de técnicas discursivas como las analepsis y las prolepsis, enumeraciones ascendentes, préstamos de técnicas cinematográficas, entre otras, que la libertad prometida por el sistema neoliberal es una ilusión que tiene como objetivo crear en el individuo la idea de independencia laboral cuando en realidad inocula en él la necesidad de producir constantemente, cumplir con las exigencias autoimpuestas y, de este modo, mantener su estatus o ascender a otro. La autoexplotación de los protagonistas de la novela es una de las representaciones de la violencia positiva, la cual es imperceptible y, por ello, más nociva y peligrosa debido a que los sujetos no se percatan del daño autoinflingido hasta que es demasiado tarde. En este sentido, el cuarto oscuro que un grupo de amigos comparten durante quince años se transforma en el espacio para alejarse del vértigo, el bullicio y las obligaciones que trasfiguran a la persona en prisionera de sus propios mandatos y las demandas implícitas del sistema neoliberal.

The Dark Room (2013) by Isaac Rosa warns, through discursive techniques such as analepsis and prolepsis, ascending enumerations, borrowing from cinematographic techniques, among others, that the freedom promised by the neoliberal system is an illusion that aims to create in the individual the idea of labor independence when in fact it inoculates in them the need to constantly produce, meet self-imposed demands and, in this way, maintain their status or advance to another. The self-exploitation of the protagonists of the novel is one of the representations of positive violence, which is imperceptible and, therefore, more harmful and dangerous because the subjects do not realize the self-inflicted damage until it is too late. In this sense, the dark room that a group of friends share for fifteen years is transformed into the space to get away from the vertigo, hustle and bustle and the obligations that transform the person into a prisoner of their own mandates and the implicit demands of the neoliberal system. |
