Sumario:Within the framework of a broader project that studies the imaginaries for (after) the end in recent Argentine narrative, the present work propose a reading of Michel Nieva's novel La infancia del mundo. First, we will analyze the ways in which this future projection emphasizes chronological linearity by being structured on a clear and explicit exacerbation of certain factors that mark the present, rethinking the relationship between climate crisis and pandemic expansion of diseases. Then, based on the different opening devices of the literary that the author proposes, we will examine the rhythms of the novel: the acceleration linked to the frenetic speed of capital and the in contact with the singular duration of what remains latent, the deceleration required for contemplation and the long duration imposed by geological eons. Finally, we will focus on the ways in which homogeinization/singularization is tensioned in the novel around the imagination of the end of capitalism and the end of the novel.
