Resumen

Este articulo propone examinar la posición de William Saroyan sobre el nacionalismo a través del análisis detallado de “The Black Tartars” (1936), un cuento construido sobre el principio de la narración enmarcada que muestra, mediante la inclusión de un relato dentro de la narración principal, dos modelos de nación diferentes: uno tradicional, basado en nociones primordialistas de raza; el otro, anclado en el principio de homogeneidad etnolingüística que desembocará en el nacimiento del estado-nación en la era moderna. Mediante el estudio del carácter dialógico propio del relato-marco, propongo una lectura del cuento de Karachi como un ejemplo de “skaz” paródico, en clara disonancia con la ideología del autor, que funciona como un espejo cóncavo que refleja el destino trágico que se cierne sobre las minorías sin estado propio.
