摘要
摘要:在诸如“划边”等歧视性房地产过程加剧了极端的社会和经济不平等的背景下,许多拉美人转向了自建——一个逐步扩大和改善住房以提高社会地位的长期过程。本文比较了巴西作家Sacolinha的小说《esta o terminal》(2010年)和哥伦比亚作家hacimtor Abad Faciolince的小说《Angosta》(2003年),以研究红线和自动建构如何在经济和话语层面上运作。面对诋毁社会边缘群体的刻板印象,Sacolinha和Abad采用了话语式的自我建构——建立社会“他人”的积极形象,以抵消边缘化,并主张对城市的创造性权利(Beal)。这些文字刻画了超越字面和比喻界限的人物,拉近了人物和读者之间的距离,邀请他们成为负责捍卫他人权利的prójimos(隐喻邻居)。对这一过程的分析强调了经济、叙事和社会阻力是如何相互关联的。它还表明,正如边缘化和压迫在它们所基于的因素交叉时复合一样,当抵抗也是多方面和交叉的,在各个方面制定以重新配置态度并朝着更具包容性的社会努力时,抵抗是最有效的。
From Próximos to Prójimos: Discursive Redlining, Autoconstruction, and Crossing in Estação terminal and Angosta
Abstract:Against the backdrop of extreme social and economic inequality exacerbated by discriminatory real estate processes like redlining, many Latin Americans turn to autoconstruction—a long-term process of gradually expanding and improving their homes to boost their standing in society. This article compares the novels Estação terminal (2010), by Brazilian author Sacolinha, and Angosta (2003), by Colombian writer Héctor Abad Faciolince, to examine how redlining and autoconstruction operate on both economic and discursive levels. In the face of stereotypes that vilify socially peripheral groups, Sacolinha and Abad employ discursive autoconstruction—building up positive images of social “others” to countervail marginalization and assert a creative right to the city (Beal). Portraying characters who transgress borders both literal and figurative, the texts bridge the distance between characters and readers, inviting them to become prójimos (metaphorical neighbors) charged with defending the rights of others. Analyzing this process underscores how economic, narrative, and social resistance can interrelate. It also demonstrates that, just as marginalization and oppression compound when the factors on which they are based intersect, resistance is most effective when it too is multifaceted and intersectional, enacted on various fronts to reconfigure attitudes and work toward a more inclusive society.
