Keywords:
modernity and exhaustion, textual monstruosity, nation and postcolonial identitiesAbstract
Modern fiction has been built by passages or mediations of values. Its axial figure is the arbitrator or translator of an experience. It searches the disciplined energy of transculturation as lhe best way lo reach the passage from nature to culture or from myth to enlightenment. Comparative literature has been its main academical field. Nevertheless, in late modenity, another type of fiction, the hybrid, has substiluted the former one. It shows the deferred ar disseminated limts of that practice, now become a signifying threshold. Although its academical institutionalization is linked to postcolonial or subaltern studies emergency, some ambivalent traces of modernist dissidence can be pointed out as its preceeding forms. That is the case of Borges textual monstruosity.
