Abstract
From three different proposals: ¿Quién mató a Diego Duarte? Crónicas de la basura by Alicia Dujovne Ortiz (2011), the photographical series of Tus pasos se perdieron en el paisaje by Fernando Brito (2009) and the novel Plop (2007) by Rafael Pinedo, it's adressed how, in different media (periodism, image and fiction) the distinction between life and death is redefined against its immune demarcation. The three productions share this figuration of the body as waste and residue: Dujovne's chronicle inserts it into the economic cycle of production and consumption; Brito's photos also start from the condition of abandonment of these bodies and their flattening in the garbage, although the visual context in which they are integrated is a falsely natural landscape; finally the novel Plop radicalizes the notion of the remains in a futuristic fiction in where that economic cycle and that natural environment has been devastated.
