Este ensayo se concentra en tres figuras medulares de Nuestra parte de noche de la escritora argentina Mariana Enríquez: la Orden, la Oscuridad y el médium. Desde un marco crítico posthumanista, se analizan las relaciones que las tres entidades establecen entre sí y con el mundo, mediante prácticas tecnocientíficas de dominación global, esotéricas y monstruosas, para examinar cómo aquéllas determinan los cuerpos y la materia que se integra en sus aparatos de diferenciación específicos. Los cortes en la materia corporal producen transformaciones ontológicas que, en el caso del medium, resultarán en un lugar de enunciación indeterminado, cuya inestabilidad abrirá las puertas a una posibilidad de resistencia. Este enfoque indaga en un lente distinto através del cual interpretar Nuestra parte de noche fuera del horror, lo fantástico o los procesos dictatoriales, para complementar el corpus crítico existente en torno a la obra de Enriquez.
This essay focuses on three medular figures in Nuestra parte de noche by the argentinian writer Mariana Enriquez: the Order, the Darkness and the medium. From a posthumanist critical framework, I analize the relationships that these three entities stablish between themselves and with the world through technoscientific practices of global domination, as well as esoteric and monstrous ones to examine how those practices determine the bodies and matter that are integrated within their specific differentiation aparatuses. The cuts made on bodily matter produce ontologic transformations that, in the medium’s case, will result in an indeterminated enunciation point, whose instability will open the doors to a possibility of resistance. This perspective studies a different lense to interpret Nuestra parte de noche outside of horror, fantasy or dictatorial processes, to complement the existent critical corpus around Enriquez’s work.
