Abstract

In Latin American society, the house, the city, and the nation have been the symbolizing spaces of the cohesiveness attributed to the imagined community. From a posmodern perspective filtered by the visión of one who belongs to an ethnic minority, Milagros
Mata Gil, in La casa en llamas, splinters the verticality ofsigns. This essayfocusses on displacements, dislocations, carnavalization, and the use ofheterogeneous discourses as textual strategies that break down the ideological supports ofthe house, the city, and the nation to make of these institutionalized territories, the space of pastiche, waste, and simulation.
