The twists and turns of hate. Gestures, writings and politics

Abstract

Giorgi and Kiffer's essays go beyond what Roberto Bolaño put in García Madero's mouth: "there are moments to recite poetry and there are moments to box" (Bolaño, 2014:16). In Las vueltas del odio we rehearse how to recite in the ring, with the mask on. Or, on how to fight poetically under the ring. For these reasons, I will keep the premise in the form of questions: is it possible to dissociate hate, as a political affection, from its ontological development as rotating shrapnel with respect to its poetic cacophony, are there moments to think of hate as a sensitive locution of the "socius" and another essentially as a combat weapon? Are there moments to recite a poetry of hate and are there moments to box while hating?
