STORIES OF VIOLENCE IN THE WORKS OF SERGIO GONZÁLEZ RODRÍGUEZ
Anadeli Bencomo
Summary:
This article explores representation of violence in
contemporary Mexico in three books by Sergio González Rodríguez.
In his journalistic accounts as well as in other of his books, he approa-
ches the homicides against women in Ciudad Juárez, the drug trafficking
cartels and recent beheadings, in order to encompass a broader
consideration of violence as a global phenomenon that exceeds Mexico.
Thus his interdisciplinary analysis offers a model to rethink recent
Mexican violence in relation to the crisis of the National State, its Judicial
system, and its politics, vis-a vis processes of globalization.
Key words:
Narratives of violence, drug trafficking, demise of State,
Women’ homicides, predatory logic.
THE GEOGRAPHIES OF REMINISCENCE: MEMORY, LITERATURE, AND EXILE
Mónica Quijano Velasco
Summary:
During the last thirty years, a memory culture, developed in
multiple artistic, political and social manifestations, has been con-
solidated. The rise of particular memories, which are dispersed, broken
up and in conflict (from which the foundations of national projects are
questioned) is a symptom of this change that affects societies in relation
to the experience of temporality. In the literary practicing this change
has produced a certain type of literature that works with the past to re-
cover particular memories. It is in this perspective that I propose the
analysis of Las genealogías by Margo Glanz and Los rojos de ultramar
by Jordi Soler.
Key words:
Memory, exile, literature, Glanz, Soler.
