MARTINEZ MARTINEZ, David  y  FUENTES LEAL, Mariela. A critique of the continuum of the History of Chile in the novels of Germán Marín. Cuad. CILHA [online]. 2023, vol.24, n.2, e011.  Epub 06-Dic-2023. ISSN 1852-9615.  http://dx.doi.org/10.48162/rev.34.072.

This article examines the works of Germán Marín: Basuras de Shanghai (2007), Círculo vicioso (2009a), La segunda mano (2009b), Notas de un ventrílocuo (2013), El palacio de la risa (2014), Bolígrafo y los sueños chinos (2016a) y Adiciones palermitanas (2016b), as a critical display of the continuum of History. These works reveal how the official story favors the story of the victors. Marín's lucid narrative plunges into a systematic and tireless search for the historical remains of Chile, using the speleological method. Through this approach, Marín notices the existence of an alternative history, represented by the inclusion of minor and defeated characters. These voices, which have been excluded by the dominant hegemonic power, are considered by Marín as crucial for the rereading of the past and the recovery of a collective national identity.

Palabras clave : continuum; history; German Marin memory; residues.
