    The two narrative voices in “La agonía de Rasu-Ñiti”
    (Academia Peruana de la Lengua, 2024-01-01)
    The short-story “La agonía de Rasu-Ñiti” [The Agony of Rasu-Ñiti], by José María Arguedas —matured during eight years and written in two days according to a letter sent by the writer to the ethnohistorian John Murra—, shows, among its main features, a narrative voice with very special characteristics. In this paper, we pay attention to the resources with which Arguedas constructs this voice and, based on a proposal made by Zevallos Aguilar (2009), we conclude that we are indeed dealing with two narrators. From a narratological point of view, we find that both voices are distinguished by the narrative level in which they are located and by their relationship with the story, as well as by their knowledge, their temporal orientation and their ethno-cultural identification. In the end, we wonder about the meaning of this combination of options in the framework of Arguedas’s production.

    Healing Some Doctors: The Medicinal Poetics of José María Arguedas
    (Universidad Nacional Mayor de San Marcos. Facultad de Letras y Ciencias Humanas, 2023-07-01)
    The present academic paper makes a medicinal interpretation, from a holistic, philosophical and indigenous understanding of health, of José María Arguedas’ famous poem “Llamado a algunos doctores” [Call to some doctors]. After reviewing some aspects of Arguedas’ literary and poetic proposal, the article will reflect on the political context and the philosophical mood (deeply Eurocentric) of the Andean literate elite that motivated the writing of this poem. Arguedas, from an empathetic identification with the indigenous sages, and in dialogue with the territories of the Peruvian highlands, invites the academic field to learn from this medicinal knowledge that has the power to reconnect intellectuals with their own heart and to reverse the modern distance that separates human beings from the territories. As will be seen towards the end of the paper, despite all the enlightened voices that predicted the disappearance of the native nations of the American continent, Arguedas’ proposal is still valid and points to the undeniable contribution that indigenous thought can make in the face of the civilization crisis of modernity.
