El coleccionista de tiempo: Análisis sobre el concepto de memoria y del tiempo en materia dispuesta de Juan Villoro

Abstract

In this paper, Materia dispuesta by Juan Villoro is analyzed as a collection of memories, in which they acquire their signification according to the place they occupy in the series. It will be seen that the ability to evoke the past is under question, since, as Deleuze postulates, to remember is to create, not just give an account of what has occurred. In the novel, the past is always an impossible time, both personally and historically: every time we try to recover past glories, we fail.
