El desmontaje del trabajo en "Kid Stardust en el matadero" de Charles Bukowski

Articulo

Resumen

The purpose of this paper is to analyze the approach and deconstruction of the difficulties of work and its status in American society, presented in “Kid Stardust en el matadero” (1974), a short story by Charles Bukowski. The privilege of the experience and perspective of the working class regarding job leads to a deep enquiring about one of the banners of the Great American Dream, built upon the exaltation of the citizen productivity as a way to conquer personal dignity and wellness, in an alleged context of equal opportunities and fluid social mobility. By restoring the degrading conditions and exploitation prevailing in the working reality of a large number of members of a community confined to marginality, without any possibility of thriving, the writer inflicts a mortal wound on the social imagery.
