Abstract
The geographical, politico-economic and social location of Santa Teresa, the leading citizen of Roberto Bolaño’s novel 2666, is conspicuous; this trial analyses the femicides described in ‘The Crimes’ part of this novel from the perspective of the spatial location that contains key implications for the cultural conditions and ethical values of society described above. The concept of no place of the anthropologist Marc Augé, who pointed out that in transit spaces the values are fluctuating; the desert of values, emotions and empathy, the notion developed by the philosopher Gilles Lipovetsky; as well as males and misoginia explained by the writer and essentist chicana Gloria Anzaldúa, they help to understand the existence of a particularly fashioned environment for the phenomenon of femicide. The geographic-politic-economic-social location of Santa Teresa, the town-protagonist of the novel 2666 by Roberto Bolaño, is conspicuous; the present essay analogue the feminicides described in ‘The Part About the Crimes’ of this novel from the perspective of the spatial location that contains key implications on the cultural conditions and the ethical values of the described society. The concept of non-place of the anthropologist Marc Augé, who proposes that in the transit sites the valuation are fluctuating; the Desert, of values, as of Emotions and empathy, the notion developed by the philosopher Gilles Lipovetsky; and male chauvinism and misogyny explained by the chicana writer and essayist Gloria Anzaldúa, contribute to comprehend the existence of a specific effect and environment for the spirit of the feminicides.
