Fate and justified exploitation in “tarciso cantón”, by tatiana buch
This paper analyzes the short story “Tarciso Cantón” (2003) by the Mexican author Tatiana Buch (1974 - ). The point of departure is, “which is the role of the narrator?” Based on this analysis of the narrator and her world vision, the conclusion is that such gives a biased vision of the Chinese population because of the use of stereotypes used to construct the image presented in the text. Furthermore, the role of the narrative voice assigned to fate is analyzed in order to set it up as the raison d’etre of the social-economic condition of the protagonist.. This sets aside the problematic issues of slavery and exploitation touching upon them superficially and tangentially, simultaneously providing justification by means of eluding the responsibility of human beings in the transformation of Gao. This paper constitutes the result of research upon brief narration which the Universidad de Costa Rica has been doing for the last two decades.
