Abstract
Resumen: Este artículo se focaliza en el estudio de la colección “Belgiques”, creada en 2017 por la editorial valona Ker éditions con el objetivo de presentar “un portrait en mosaïque de la Belgique” gracias a la publicación anual de 2 a 4 libros de novelas cortas bajo el mismo título epónimo. Después de la génesis de esta iniciativa original, que conjuga autobiografía y ficción, analizo cómo, en el corpus actual de 19 volúmenes, el formato heterogéneo de los relatos breves elaborados por un elenco de autores/as belgas francófonos/as permite, en el cruce de perspectivas diacrónica y sincrónica, una cartografía mental de su país, en la cual desempeña un papel relevante la iconografía particular de cada portada. Con esta lectura comparada se identifican una serie de motivos significativos y ciertas “petites mythologies belges” (Jean-Marie Klinkenberg, 2003) en el caleidoscopio de una Bélgica plural y mestizada que contextualizo en el marco histórico-literario tras la afirmación de la “belgitude” en 1976, refiriéndome a trabajos críticos relacionados con dicho concepto.
Abstract: This article studies the "Belgiques" collection, created in 2017 by the Walloon publishing house Ker éditions for the purpose of presenting "un portrait en mosaïque de la Belgique" through the publication of 2 to 4 short story books under the same eponymous title each year. Following the evolution of this original initiative, which brings together autobiography and fiction, I analyze how, in the present 19-volume corpus, the heterogeneous format of the short stories created by a selection of French-speaking Belgian authors combines a mental cartography of their country by intersecting diachronic and synchronic perspectives, in which the distinctive iconography of each cover plays an important role. This comparative analysis identifies a series of significant motifs and certain "petites mythologies belges" (J.-M. Klinkenberg, 2003), i.e, a kaleidoscope representing a plural and mixed Belgium, which I contextualize within the literary-historical backdrop that affirmed "belgitude" in 1976, by referring to critical works related to this concept.
