Boom and bust of euphoric narratives: Peruvian football and the neoliberal mentality
(Taylor & Francis, 2021-07-07)
In this article we propose the category of euphoric narratives both to explain the construction of the sculpture ‘Monumento a los hombres del mundial’ (Monument to the Men of the World Cup) in Lima, Peru, but more importantly, to analyse a dynamic which transcends that situation and accounts for a set of cultural changes that have arisen in strongly restructured societies for the purposes of neoliberal policies. The Peruvian national football team’s qualification for the World Cup in Russia in 2018 generated a collective sense of optimism in the national community rarely seen in recent history. The article traces the interrelation between football, a rich site for the deployment of popular narrative strategies in relation to the construction of identities, the neoliberal rationality, which feeds on and manipulates (collective) euphoria for commercial and/or political gain and the specific socio-political Peruvian context in the run-up to the World Cup in Russia.

A poet of the communist event
(Palgrave Macmillan, Cham., 2023-11-03)
Vallejo is a poet who testifies that something important has taken place in the world. He understood communism as the possibility of reconciling the human being with history, with nature and with himself. If human history was a tale of scarcity and social exploitation, communism could turn it into a productive, just, and egalitarian action. Vallejo celebrated the advances of modernity, but questioned the concentration of capital, the new culture of consumption, and the dominant interests of the centers of power. This chapter addresses how Vallejo’s poetry shows the communist attemp to change the world, but also underlines the painful simulacrum of a set of dark forces that systematically prevent it.

A poet of the “Part With No Part”
(Palgrave Macmillan, Cham, 2023-11-02)
Vallejo’s poetry always felt committed to the option of politicizing human pain, that is, naming its causes and representing the effects that pain (suffering, exploitation, evil) causes in those who have been placed as the remnants of the social system. This chapter explores a poetics in which the representation of marginality becomes increasingly prominent. In Vallejo’s poetry, art names the excluded rest in order to try to produce a social change. Due to his religious formation and his Marxist readings, Vallejo began to think (and feel) that the world could be reconstituted from the place of the excluded.

A poet who announces the event
(Palgrave Macmillan, Cham., 2023-11-02)
The chapter argues that Vallejo is a poet of the event, that is, a poet who strives to give an account of an experience of truth that has interrupted the world and can begin to transform it. For Badiou, an event is something, fundamentally new, that emerges from that which was not counted in the established frameworks; something that emerges from the holes of the social to break the inertia of daily reality. What is central to the event is the moment in which an individual decides to become the subject of the event in order to begin to communicate a new universal truth. Vallejo’s last poetry strove to call militantly towards the unquestionable truth of the “communist idea.”

A poet of lost causes
(2023-11-02)
This chapter studies Vallejo’s last poems in which he set out to celebrate a group of subjects who defended the “communist idea” to the last consequences. In fact, the subject of Vallejo’s poetry ends up being, above all, a subject of the will. Although his verses always set out to represent the fragile condition of subjectivity, and although they never shy away from recognizing how the subject cowers before the event, his poetry also confirms that there are latent political possibilities in humanity, forces that invite us to overcome the limits of our social determinations.
