La identidad dialógica como vindicación de lo secundario

in this essay the author proposes to establish a dialogue between the bakhtinian doctrine of dialogism and the novel el hablador by mario vargas llosa. the article bases itself on the working hypothesis called dialogic identity: an identitary profile forged as much by a dialogue between its organic side as well as from the side of choice. that is the case of saul zuratas, a young jewish peruvian who assumes the precarious identity of a small tribe in the amazon. the two facets of his new identity play the alternative heteroglossic role with each other. besides, their dialogue induces the gradual emergence of the secondary, or rather, the ideological and cultural content that was marginalized and inhibited at the same time by the great stories of modernity from the age of enlightenment to marxism.
