I15-R206-article-6212024-08-20T18:44:28Z César Aira: Avant-Garde or Experimental Realism? César Aira: ¿vanguardia histórica o realismo experimental? Ariza, Julio Aira vanguardias novela experimental Bürger Foster Aira avant-gardes experimental novel Bürger Foster This article will focus on one of the central issues in César Aira's narrative project: is it possible to achieve a unique return to what he himself calls, following Peter Bürger, "historical avant-gardes"? I argue that Aira's fiction should not be unquestionably inserted into the historical avant-garde movement that the author himself aspires to belong to, but rather belongs to the fruitful realm of South American experimental realist novels. Aira does indeed carry out an avant-garde project, but not for the reasons he claims, which are primarily based on an Adornian-Bürgersian reading of the avant-gardes. Instead, it aligns more with the "return of the real" as discussed by Hal Foster in "The Return of the Real" (1996). Aira is avant-garde because the project of the avant-gardes is not closed (as Bürger suggests), because his work continues to open new spaces for writing where there were none, because the affirming power of delirium is always of a social nature. Este artículo se enfocará en uno de los problemas centrales del proyecto narrativo de César Aira: ¿es posible realizar una singular vuelta a lo que él mismo llama, a la Peter Bürger, “vanguardias históricas”? Sostengo que la ficción de Aira no se debe insertar sin cuestionamientos en el movimiento vanguardista histórico al que el propio autor aspira a pertenecer, sino que corresponde al fructífero ámbito de la novela realista experimental sudamericana. Aira sí lleva a cabo un proyecto de inspiración vanguardista, pero no por las razones que él dice, apoyadas sobre todo en una lectura adorniana-bürgersiana de las vanguardias, sino más bien en el sentido del “retorno de lo real” del que nos habla Hal Foster en The Return of the Real (1996). Aira es vanguardista porque el proyecto de las vanguardias no está cerrado (como plantea Bürger), porque su obra no deja de abrir nuevos espacios de escritura allí donde no los había, porque la potencia de afirmación del delirio es siempre de carácter social.

This article will focus on one of the central issues in César Aira's narrative project: is it possible to achieve a unique return to what he himself calls, following Peter Bürger, "historical avant-gardes"?

Aira does indeed carry out an avant-garde project, but not for the reasons he claims, which are primarily based on an Adornian-Bürgersian reading of the avant-gardes.
