| description | Analyzing the “geographical anatomy of industrial urbanism” (Soja) in Boca de lobo, by Sergio Chejfec, is carried out on this paper to understand this novel. In this piece is performed a suburb as an organized place close to the factory. It is proposed that the alignment of the industrial landscape in this work depends on an imaginary of the ruins. Likewise, the multiplication of ostensible signs of deterioration is combined, particularly, with a dialogue with strong discursive traditions, mainly Marxism and social realism. It is maintained that dealing with the ruins in Boca de lobo tends to articulate material vestiges with textual fragments, and in this sense the construction of urban space is carried out both in relation to what is seen (material ruins) and what is read (textual quotes). In short, the novel builds an urban space whose referential indices refer to different historical times and textual traditions through a montage of heterochronic temporalities. |

El propósito de este trabajo es analizar la “anatomía geográfica del urbanismo industrial” (Soja) en Boca de lobo, de Sergio Chejfec, novela cuyo escenario es el de un suburbio organizado alrededor de la fábrica. Entendemos que la configuración del paisaje industrial en la ficción depende de un imaginario de las ruinas. Asimismo, la multiplicación de signos ostensibles de deterioro se conjuga, a nuestro juicio, con un diálogo con tradiciones discursivas fuertes, principalmente el marxismo y el realismo social. Sostenemos que el trato con las ruinas en Boca de lobo propende a articular vestigios materiales con fragmentos textuales, y en tal sentido la construcción del espacio urbano se realiza tanto en relación con lo visto (ruinas materiales) como con lo leído (citas textuales). En suma, la novela construye un espacio urbano cuyos índices de referencialidad remiten a diferentes tiempos históricos y tradiciones textuales por medio de un montaje de temporalidades heterocrónicas.

Entendemos que a configuração da paisagem industrial na ficção depende de um imaginário das ruínas. Da mesma forma, a multiplicação de sinais ostensivos de deterioração combina-se, a nosso ver, com um diálogo com fortes tradições discursivas, principalmente o marxismo e o realismo social. Sustentamos que lidar com as ruínas em Boca de lobo tende à articulação de vestígios materiais com fragmentos textuais, e nesse sentido à construção do espaço urbano se faz tanto em relação ao que se vê (ruínas materiais) quanto ao que se lê (citações textuais). Em suma, o romance constrói um espaço urbano cujos índices referenciais remetem a diferentes tempos históricos e tradições textuais por meio de uma montagem de temporalidades heterocrônicas.
