Marcas da violência de Estado apontamentos sobre “Una sola muerte numerosa”, de Nora Strejilevich

Abstract

The representation of violence has been something constantly explored in various literary productions of Hispanic-American literature, a fact that provokes several discussions about this theme in the literary sphere. In the present work, the objective is to demonstrate how the dictatorial violence of the State is represented in the work Una sola muerte numerosa, by the Argentinian writer Nora Strejilevich, considering the fact that the language in this type of novel is coated with a revisionist bias. The chosen research was the bibliographical one because it makes it possible to present, in this section, a face of the argentine literary context, supporting the theoretical-critical reflections. As a result, the need to work with contemporary literature in the classroom is shown, through which one can observe the human experience in society, especially in totalitarian regimes, which always threaten to return. For that, the contributions of Bidegain (1987), Novaro and Palermo (2008), Sarlo (2014), among others, were chosen as a theoretical contribution.
