LA NOVELA DE HOLLYWOOD (1934) DE ROSA ARCINIEGAAquino Ramírez, Marlon YtaloThis article offers an analysis of the concept of “celluloid life” raised in the novel Vidas de celuloide. La novela de Hollywood (1934) by the Peruvian writer Rosa Arciniega (Áncash, 1903 – Buenos Aires, 1999). It is based on the thesis that this work represents through narrative fiction the characteristics of an ancient phenomenon exacerbated by the massification of Hollywood cinema: the falsification of real public life. In that sense, the so-called “celluloid life” has various characteristics that, as stated in Arciniega’s novel, lead to the moral and physical self-destruction of the subject. Among these characteristics are its hyperdependence on advertising discourse, its inevitable submission to the gaze of others, its commercial transitoriness, and its need for validation with factual discourses. Through a hermeneutic-literary analysis with a comparative approach, it is concluded that this “celluloid life” and the risks arising from it constitute direct antecedents of contemporary issues related to the formation of identities in the digital world.El presente artículo ofrece un análisis del concepto de “vida celuloidal”, planteado en la novela Vidas de celuloide. La novela de Hollywood (1934) de la escritora peruana Rosa Arciniega (Áncash, 1903 – Buenos Aires, 1999). Se parte de la tesis que en dicha obra se representan, a través de la ficción narrativa, las características de un fenómeno antiguo, pero agudizado a partir de la masificación del cine de Hollywood: la falsificación de la vida pública real. En ese sentido, la llamada “vida celuloidal” posee diversas características que, según se plantea en la novela, conducen a la autodestrucción moral y física del sujeto. Entre dichas características, por ejemplo, se encuentran su hiperdependencia del discurso publicitario, su inevitable sometimiento a la mirada ajena, su transitoriedad mercantil y su necesidad de validación con discursos fácticos. Tras la aplicación de un análisis hermenéutico-literario con enfoque comparativo, se concluye que dicha “vida celuloidal” y los riesgos derivados de ella constituyen antecedentes directos de problemáticas contemporáneas relacionadas con la formación de identidades en el mundo digital.Asociación Peruana de Retórica2026-02-15info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfhttps://www.metaforarevista.com/index.php/meta/article/view/53410.36286/mrlad.v3i6.259METÁFORA REVISTA DE LITERATURA Y ANÁLISIS DEL DISCURSO; Vol. 8 Núm. 16 (2026)2617-483910.36286/mrlad.v3i6.253reponame:Metáforainstname:Asociación Peruana de Retóricainstacron:APRspahttps://www.metaforarevista.com/index.php/meta/article/view/534/358Derechos de autor 2026 Marlon Ytalo Aquino Ramírezhttp://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessoai:ojs2.www.metaforarevista.com:article/5342026-03-13T00:45:57Z
