Abstract
El paso de la producción al consumo de las cosas constituye un cambio de paradigma de gran significación para la cultura material. Con ello, la producción de objetos acaba convirtiéndose en fin en sí mismo y el consumo se erige en ley fundamental de las sociedades actuales. En este texto trataré de mostrar cómo, frente lo que podría definirse como un discurso de la abundancia preponderante en las ficciones latinoamericanas de finales del siglo pasado, ya en el siglo XXI empieza a vislumbrarse un imaginario donde se impone la escasez como atmósfera omnipresente. Analizaré cuatro novelas recientes para mostrar esta evolución, tratando de indagar en las causas y la significación histórica de este cambio de paradigma.
