“Imaginaries of Evil” deals with the spatial representation of evil in selected works by José Eustasio Rivera, Jorge Luis Borges, and Alejo Carpentier. The study aims at a critique of the assumption of aesthetics of evil, oriented towards cultural studies and narratology. In the modern literature of Latin America (here with a view to Spanish-language authors), a postcolonial figuration of evil can be discerned, which narratively conveys evil through the spatialization of colonial subjects in a fictionalized form. The reference to forms of slavery and their literary modeling are the characteristics of this modern literature, which tells the history(s) of Latin America as a space of entanglements.
