Communist militancy in the chilean and spanish novel: representations, symmetries and ruptures

Abstract

This article questions the ways in which Chilean and Spanish narrative represent the figure of the communist militant, establishing some traits that are part of what culturally implies to be militant in each country and their likenesses and differences, from four novels of the second half of XXth century and beginning of XXI –two of them Chilean and two Spanish– and from the acceptance of the idea that political communist militancy is a globalized identity.
