Resumen
Este artículo establece un diálogo entre una serie de aspectos
relacionados a la práctica de la lectura obrera a partir de la novela
Los hombres oscuros (1939) del escritor chileno Nicomedes
Guzmán y de otras publicaciones del periodo que estaban destinadas a instruir a los obreros. Asimismo, a partir de la
novela de Guzmán se presenta un análisis sobre la presencia
de la cultura impresa en la cotidianidad, no solo en el formato
de libros y periódicos, sino en la construcción de la vivienda
obrera. Finalmente, se plantea que este uso no convencional
de los impresos es un sello distintivo de una estética de la pobreza
y de la práctica lectora de Pablo, el protagonista.
This article analyses reading as a practice in Los hombres oscuros (1939), a novel by Chilean writer Nicomedes Guzmán as well as it establishes a comparison about what was considered as appropriate readings for male workers among Catholic Church, Chilean elites and other political leaders. In addition to these ideas, we highlight how in Guzmán’s novel print culture has an important role in working class’s daily life not only as books and press but also as an important material for housing construction. Finally, we argue that this unconventional use of press has become a distinctive attribute of both, what is call aesthetics of poverty and main character’s, Pablo, reading practice.
