Abstract
This paper analyzes the reconfiguration of the notion of nation, the emergence of new subjectivities and the relationships among them that Pedro Antonio Valdez, a Dominican writer, does in his first nov- el, Bachata del angel caido , within the context of socio-economic reforms car- ried out by Joaquin Balaguer in the Do- minican Republic at the end of the 20th Century. I claim that this writer intends to “present” those subjectivities by insert- ing pieces of bachatas and boleros that help to illustrate those reconfigurations and by mocking the intellectual of the Boom and the representation this one made of subaltern subjects. Keywords: Bachata music, Representation, Subjec- tivities, Parody, Intellectuals.
