Research Seminar | The Avant-Garde Influence in the Fragmentary Structure of 2666 by Roberto Bolaño

Dr Raquel Bra Núñez

 

Overview

The aim of this seminar is to examine the influence of the main Avant-Garde artistic movements in the fragmentary structure of the novel 2666, written by Roberto Bolaño and published post-mortem in 2004. Almost one century separates the Avant-Garde from Bolaño’s time. However, this study will demonstrate the similarities between them, and it will propose a new reading of the novel under the Avant-Garde criteria of literary creation, while that leads us to an original conception of discursive unity.
