This paper proposes a reading of Fruta podrida by Lina Meruane that unfolds from the question about the tensions between (un)productive discourses, about the place occupied by bodies and poetry in relation to the discourses of knowledge and what is useful . To approach these tensions, we use two theoretical figures: exform (Bourriaud) and the rest() (Cragnolini). The research revolves around the different modes of resistance in the novel-the silence, poetry, desubjectivation-against the discourse of the medical institution and the market. The tension between the stabilizing power of the Institution and the impugnation of this discourse fosters a resistance in that decomposition of the discourse that allows other modes, languages or subjectivities to survive as the rest or exform.
