De mesías, pachacutis y profetas. El apocalipsis o el discurso de la contingencia en el Perú

摘要

Facing the pervasive presence of an apocalyptic imaginariness in Peruvian narrative fiction, this article shows that the Apocalypse has also been evoked by “serious” or non-fictional discourses, primarily in order to interpret issues related to social and political contingency. From this position, the article reviews a series of political events along Herbert Morote’s Réquiem por Perú, mi patria, a literary essay that interprets national reality.
