This study deals with the discursive possibilities of male eroticism in the literary universes of two Iberoamerican writers: the Brazilian Rubem Fonseca (b. 1925) and the Chilean José Donoso (1924-1996). It is a comparative analysis bringing together two fairly dissimilar writers who, nonetheless, as it attempts to show, share multiple perspectives in their treatment of eroticism, understood here as a discourse. In other words, eroticism is understood as a process in constant construction. In this context, each of these two authors, through their narrators and characters, are viewed as producing a continual meeting of voices which intersect and collide with one another. Organizing this hotchpotch of perspectives in these two dissimilar writers, who invent and recreate a reality in the process of formation, is a historic challenge for the contemporary reader and writer. In fact, each topic scrutinized in these works is a revision of certain recurring topics regarding male eroticism in the western world. Questions such as: Donjuanism, prostitution, sadism, power, homosexuality and love, which are present in the works of both writers, are discussed from the starting-point of a personal vision steeped in Bakhtinian discourse analysis that sets up a dialogue with and incorporates other critical voices. What is attempted is an emerging analysis, underpinned by the bibliography pertinent to each theme, as well as a social and historical vision of the process of literary creation in which each of these two writers examined is located. In this way the study as a whole aims at establishing an identity of discourse for the works and topics studied.
