    Pablo Palacio y las corporeidades póstumas: los orígenes de la ciencia-ficción latinoamericana
    (2016) Daniel Arella
    In the book double and single woman avant-garde Ecuadorian writer Paul Palacio explains the complex web of an organic double irruption in a mutant body parodying the scientific discourse within itself and deconstructing it as a shared ¨double narrated body ¨ focus. A narrated body in crisis, a mutant metaphor for an apocalyptic civilization; a sick body that is heard with words that cannot define themselves in a cultural and social system that moves, and simultaneously, divides, according to its law and its consistency: language and science. The critical construction of this said apocalyptic body will be supported from a body without organs (Gilles Deluze, Desire and pleasure) because it goes against all levels of the body´s organization as well as the organization of power, in which the desire is a field of immanence in constant interchange with power that establishes it as a complex relationship of forces in constant combat. This development will comprise a tendency of science-fiction as those of monsters and the posthumous corporeality, where the absence of love and the impossibility of understanding human are emerging as the most outstanding issues.
