espanolEste articulo sostiene que la reconocida escritora maori de Nueva Zelanda Patricia Grace concibe una ecopoetica de aleatoriedad y diseno en su novela “Tu” a traves de la imagen multiple del compost laberintico. Los procesos biologicos del compost y las dinamicas espaciales del laberinto se complementan entre si en esta narrativa. Tanto el laberinto como el compost ponen de relieve la liminalidad, los aspectos ordenados y caoticos de las viviendas fisicas y las estructuras sociales. El diseno tortuoso, asi como las dinamicas de putrefaccion y reciclaje que caracterizan el entorno devastado por la guerra de “Tu” se reflejan en la intrincada prosa de los diarios del protagonista principal. Su compleja regeneracion psicologica tambien esta influenciada por los procesos del compostaje. El compost laberintico de Grace evoca una ‟ecopoetica postcolonial” al desacreditar las asociaciones cargadas de aleatoriedad con el salvajismo que amenaza la vida, y de diseno con civilizacion ordenada, asociaciones que caracterizan gran parte de la ideologia colonial. Ya sea que se interpreten como conceptos biologicos, espaciales o culturales, el caos y el orden en el compost laberintico de “Tu” aparecen como procesos complementarios en lugar de completamente opuestos. EnglishThis article argues that renowned Māori/New Zealand writer Patricia Grace devises an ecopoetics of randomness and design in her novel “Tu” through the manifold image of the labyrinthine compost. The biological processes of the compost and the spatial dynamics of the maze complement one another in this narrative. Both the maze and the compost foreground the liminality, the ordered and chaotic aspects, of physical dwelling places and social structures. The tortuous layout as well as the putrefying and recycling dynamics characterising the war-torn environment of “Tu” are mirrored in the intricate prose of the main protagonist’s diaries. His complex psychological regeneration is also influenced by composting processes. Grace’s labyrinthine compost evokes a “postcolonial ecopoetics” that debunks the loaded associations of randomness with life-threatening wildness, and of design with ordered civilisation, associations which characterised much of the colonial ideology. Whether construed as biological, spatial or cultural concepts, chaos and order in the maze-like compost of “Tu” appear as complementary rather than completely opposed processes.
