This paper begins with a brief overview of some of the works that in this sense marked or mark the 20th and 21st centuries in Latin America. From there, it focuses on the novel Tongolele no sabía bailar (2021) by the Nicaraguan writer Sergio Ramírez, placing it within the Latin American dystopian tradition and framing it within the neo-crime literature produced in Spanish since the final decades of the 20th century. The novel is the third part of a trilogy headed by police inspector/private investigator Dolores Morales, and portrays the demonstrations that shook Nicaragua in 2018, denouncing their repression by the government of Daniel Ortega and Rosario Murillo. The central theme of tyranny is analyzed with a focus on how violence and paranoia serve to sustain hegemonic political power. To do this, conceptual tools from political anthropology are used, particularly the findings of F. G. Bailey in Stratagems and Spoils (1969). Finally, it concludes by confirming the capacity of the ruling regime to remain in powerModernost v Latinski Ameriki lahko beremo v luči napetosti med utopični-mi in distopičnimi diskurzi. V prispevku najprej obravnavamo nekatera dela, ki so v tem smislu v Latinski Ameriki zaznamovala in še zaznamujejo 20. in 21. stoletje. Nato se osredotočimo na roman nikaragovskega pisatelja Sergia Ramíreza Tongolele no sabía bailar (2021), ki ga umestimo v latinskoameriško distopično tradicijo, obenem pa tudi v tradicijo neokriminalnega romana v španskem jeziku zadnjih desetletij prejšnjega stoletja. Ta roman je tretji del trilogije, katere osrednji lik je policist/zasebni detektiv Dolores Morales, opi-suje pa demonstracije, ki so leta 2018 pretresle Nikaragvo, ter obsoja represijo vlade Daniela Ortege in Rosario Murillo, ki sta jo izvajala nad demonstranti. Osrednja tema romana, tiranija, je tako analizirana kot revizija obravnave na-silja in paranoje kot elementov, ki služita ohranjanju hegemonistične politične moči. V ta namen smo uporabili konceptualna orodja politične antropologije, zlasti ugotovitve F. G. Baileyja v delu Stratagems and Spoils (1969). V zaključku ugotovimo, da je vladajoči režim sposoben ostati na oblastiTEXTznanstveno časopisjejournalsSlovenian National E-content AggregatorNational and University Library of SloveniaUniverza v Ljubljani, Filozofska fakulteta
