Entre la sangre y el simulacroúltimas tendencias en la narrativa policial mexicana

Resum

This document describes detective stories as one of the most important tendencies of the current Mexican narrative. The new crime fiction, which is considered a strong narrative since the beginning of the seventies, was canonized by Paco Taibo II. It remained a strong narrative until the late nineties and is active today in México F.D. -where it was originated–. It has strong incidence in the provinces, mainly at the Northern border where the manifestation of this aesthetics has been recognized during the last fifteen years. Opposed to this narrative tendency taken from the north American hard boiled is the anti crime fiction born out of Borges creations. Stories are often based in the literary world where the notions of truth and identity as well as hybridization of texts have been produced with outstanding proximities to the cyberpunk and have been tainted with features from the cinema, television and cartoons.
