Imaginario emocional de la violencia en narrativas colombianas recientes

Abstract

In a set of recently published Colombian novels the emotional arises as a protagonist force to signify the intangible reality derived from political violence. The writers that we approach resume recurrent concerns of Colombian literature (war, humiliation, defeat, etc.), to treat them from the filter of the affective and show another logic of the violent. The affective, as a literary element, allows not only the aesthetic exploration of the mood of the subject who has lived in traumatic contexts, but also an approach to violence that goes beyond the logic of its causes, perpetrators and material effects, aspects that have had greater visibility in the texts and speeches. Narrating the chaotic reality of a country from the affective field permits to visualize the emotional imaginary of violence and its impact on social identity. (English) [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
