Resumen

The purpose of this work is to make an approach to the novel Ways of going home (2010) by the Chilean writer Alejandro Zambra through a critical and relational reading of a set of categories linked to the process of discussion of memory in the contemporary world. Therefore, the article studies the process of crisis of literary autonomy in the globalized world, as well as the problems of inheritance and the proper name that constitute the enunciation conditions of the stories that make up the novel. From our perspective, in Ways of going home codes of resistance are formulated that lead to the articulation of a politics of memory based on the notion of counter-duty.
