Baseado em um artigo de Rubem Alves, escrito em 1977, sobre os Cuidados Pastorais sob a perspectiva da Teologia da Libertação, e no uso do Realismo Mágico na literatura e religião, sugiro ser o Reenquadramento uma proposta genuinamente latino-americana para a poimênica, sobretudo o aconselhamento, seguindo uma prática já feita por Rubem Alves. Palavras-Chave: Rubem Alves, Teologia da Libertação, Realismo Mágico, literatura latino-americana, poimênica. Based on a 1977 article written by RubemAlves about Pastoral Care under the perspective of theology of liberation and on the use of Magic Realism in literature and religion, I suggest being reframing a truly Latin American proposal for Pastoral Care, particularly Pastoral Counseling, a practice already done by RubemAlves. Keywords: RubemAlves, Theology of Liberation, Magic Realism, Latin American Literature, Pastoral Care.

Brignole explores the question of postnational identity by proposing a reading of three novels that signal a transition point in the literature of exile and displacement in Latin America. The characters portrayed in El síndrome de Ulises (2005) by Santiago Gamboa, Travesuras de la niña mala(2006) by Mario Vargas Llosa, and El exilio voluntario (2009) by Claudio Ferrufino-Coqueugniot are the fictional counterparts of a new generation of voluntary exiles that has started to replace, in diachronic progression, the traditional figures of leftist revolutionaries and political exiles. The typical voluntary exile is not fixated on an attempt to recover a lost identity, like the traditional exile, nor does he attempt to assimilate into the cultural make-up of the new countries he inhabits, like the immigrant. Instead, he remains in an indefinite state of “foreignness” by adopting an interstitial position, located somewhere between those of the exile and the immigrant. Instead of assigning unwarranted importance to a nation, an ideology, or a race, the protagonists of these novels project a new postnational sensibility. They emphasize the shared experience of all exiles, draw attention to the futility of borders, and forge productive fraternal bonds with individuals coming from different cultural heritages.

Resumen: A partir de una pregunta por las enfermedades y desórdenes de los cuerpos y los saberes sobre la vida, las novelas A céu aberto (1996) de João Gilberto Noll, Impuesto a la carne (2010) de Diamela Eltit y Fruta podrida (2007) de Lina Meruane exploran las transformaciones que atraviesan las antiguas instituciones disciplinarias bajo las condiciones de un nuevo dispositivo de poder que aspira a la gestión de la población como capital humano. Contra cualquier imperativo de eficiencia, las novelas hallan en la enfermedad la potencia de invención de lenguajes y modos de vida común que exceden los cálculos del Estado y el mercado. Palabras clave: Biopolítica, enfermedad, afecto, lo común, literatura latinoamericana contemporánea. Abstract: Through the interrogation of illness and knowledges about life, the novels A céu aberto (1996) by João Gilberto Noll, Impuesto a la carne (2010) by Diamela Eltit and Fruta podrida (2007) by Lina Meruane explore the transformations undergone by former disciplinary institutions under the conditions of a new apparatus of power which aspires to manage the population as human capital. Against any imperative of efficiency, these novels find in illness the potential of invention of languages and modes of common life that exceed the calculations of the state and the market. Keywords: Biopolitics, illness, affect, the common, contemporary Latin American literature.
