XIX-XX) Pezzè, Andrea crime novel science fiction Gothic novel biopolitics governance policial ciencia ficción gótico biopolítica gubernamentalidad This paper aims to reflect on the representation of the politics of and about bodies in the Latin American non-mimetic genres between the XIX and XX centuries. The working hypothesis aims to detect –in the scientific curiosities of the “emerging” science fiction (Haywood Ferreyra, 2011), in the horrors of the Gothic, and the governmental proposals of the police– the dynamics of normalization of bodies and their classification practices. This approach assumes a large corpus –Juana Manuela Gorriti, Eduardo Holmberg, Francisco Calcagno, Clemente Palma, Blas Millán, among others– from which only the fundamental elements of fictionalization of body politics will be addressed. To achieve this objective, the works are read from an interdisciplinary approach at the crossroads between the formal studies of these genres (in particular Ricardo Piglia for detective fiction, David Punter for Gothic fiction, and Darko Suvin for science fiction) and the fundamental contributions on biopolitics and governmentality, from Foucault to Roberto Esposito. Este trabajo se propone reflexionar sobre la representación de las políticas de y sobre los cuerpos en los géneros no-miméticos latinoamericanos de entresiglos. La hipótesis de trabajo pretende detectar en las curiosidades científicas de la “emergente” ciencia ficción (Haywood Ferreyra, 2011), en los horrores del gótico y en las propuestas de gubernamentalidad del policial las dinámicas de normalización de los cuerpos y de las prácticas de clasificación de los mismos. Este planteamiento supone un corpus dilatado –Juana Manuela Gorriti, Eduardo Holmberg, Francisco Calcagno, Clemente Palma, Blas Millán, entre otros– de los que se abordarán solo los elementos fundamentales de ficcionalización de las políticas sobre el cuerpo. Para alcanzar dicho objetivo, las obras se leen desde un enfoque interdisciplinario en el cruce entre los estudios formales de dichos géneros (en particular Ricardo Piglia para el policial, David Punter para el gótico y Darko Suvin para la ciencia ficción) y los aportes fundamentales sobre biopolítica y gubernamentalidad, desde Foucault hasta Roberto Esposito.
