This essay revolves around two different conceptions of the ritual interwoven in La feria (1963), a novel written by the Mexican writer Juan José Arreola. The first conception stems from the carnivalesque style which is vividly present in the novel. Since the fictionalized fair in honor to Saint Joseph in a small city of Jalisco is a ritual, in some respects similar to the carnival rituals analyzed by M.M. Bakhtin, the author attempts to trace coincidences between them. The second conception is based on the theory of potlatch, a social phenomenon associated with rituals, researched in archaic societies by anthropologist Marcel Mauss. In the analysis of La feria, a sacred and profane ritual, and the central event that takes place in the plot, the author gives several examples to demonstrate the fictionalization of potlatch conveyed through the polyphonic juxtaposition of voices within the novel. Taking into account the definition of ritual created by anthropologist Roy A. Rappaport, on the other hand, the author supports the idea of the existence of universal equivalencies in its practices, and attains to justify an inherent relationship between both, the spirit of the fictional fair, and the spirit of carnival rituals examined by Bakhtin. In general terms, the main purpose of the essay is to explore how the social and aesthetic meanings are interwoven in the ritual of La feria. Key words: fair, carnivalization, sacred and profane rituals, potlatch

In this article I delve into a recently published novel, El dios de Darwin (2014), written by Sabina Berman. Its purpose revolves around the utopic implications of the author´s esthetic project. First, I examine the relationship between the two plots which are intertwined in the novel. One of them takes place nowadays, around 2012; the other happens in 1876, in the decline of Darwin’s life, since he is the main character. El dios de Darwin is the story of a secret document found in Westminster Abbey by Antonio Márquez, a zoologist. A moment before his murder by a fundamentalist cell in Dubai, he attains to send by email fragments of the secret document to three other pro‑evolutionist friends. One of them is Karen Nieto, the main character of the contemporary plot. Struggling against Franco, Márquez’s former lover, who was a spy of a fundamentalist organization, Nieto at the end manages to rescue the secret document, he attempted to destroy. Within the second plot, the secret document (Theological Autobiography) and the circumstances of it being written by Darwin are interspersed until the end. The Autobiography was verily brought to light from censorship by Nora Barlow (1995), Darwin’s great‑granddaughter. The story unravels the unknown conversion to agnosticism experienced by the British naturalist. Since the novel is rich enough in scientific data and demonstrations extracted from The Origins of Species, The Descend of Man and the authentic Autobiography, I establish a parallelism between Darwin’s revolutionary contribution and the set of ideas about planetary ethics posed by the Brazilian theologian, Leonardo Boff. Key words: Darwin, natural morality, planetary ethics, Sabina Berman
