Entre el miedo y el derecho al delirio: un decir desde los ninguneados de Eduardo Galeano

This article presents a refection upon a reader and writer’s itinerary of part of Uruguayan writer Eduardo Galeano (1940-2015), where the neglected as characters of literary creation are the source which announces the living conditions of modern life with its signs of inequality and fear. But also, in a sensitive condition of possibility, the right to delirium as abandonment and resistance to the wounds inflicted by the discourses and omnipresent and totalitarian acts, result of the civilizing crisis which we attend. This article describes Eduardo Galeano as a man of literature and words which subvert the ineffable ways of power in order to do and state from them resistance to homogenizing forces. An author who is delirious and constructs the figures of: the neglected, the nobodies, the no-ones, as bodies of the periphery, excluded by the bio-political ways of controlling the world. Figures as poetic sarcasm to think about the development, the barbaric exploitation of human and non-human life, the upheaval of a land which is no longer inhabited but dominated, the human suffering as a devastating event of its own designs. It contains biographic features both about the Uruguayan writer’s life and his writings, etymological notes and narrative sections about the condition of the neglected as bodies in exile in the inhabited dwelling; as well, as a way of critique, the development as a promise about the fear felt by the neglected; and finalizes with a fragment of the book the right to delirium: a heartfelt sample of his thinking.
