| description | This work aims at providing an alternative reading about what we can understand as representation of
the body , in order to question notions such as foundational fiction and national literature. My goal is to formulate other ways to examine images of the body that have remained under the rubble in the effort to construct a history of literature, specifically Ecuadorian literary history. Taking into account the first Ecuadorian novel, La emancipada (1863), written by Miguel Riofrío, I suggest: if Rosaura’s dead body, described as a putrefied body, cannot exhibit a respectable appearance, how can we understand this body mas the starting point for the consolidation of a literary corpus ? How can a national literary history be possible, when it is constructed over the representation of this dismembered and unviable body image? |

Este trabajo pretende realizar una lectura alternativa a aquello que podemos entender como representación del cuerpo, con el fin de problematizar conceptos como los de novela fundacional y literatura nacional. Se espera formular otros modos de mirar aquellas imágenes corporales que han sido relegadas bajo los escombros ocasionados por el empeño de construcción de una historia literaria, específicamente la historia de la literatura ecuatoriana. En el caso de La emancipada de Miguel Riofrío (1863), considerada la primera novela ecuatoriana, sugiero pensar: si el cuerpo muerto y en estado de descomposición de su protagonista, Rosaura, no logra tener una apariencia decente, ¿cómo se entiende que sea ese cuerpo el que se instaure como la imagen de la consolidación de un corpus literario? ¿Cómo puede ser viable una historia literaria nacional que se funda sobre la representación de una imagen corporal desmembrada e imposible?
