Articulations of Violence Against Women in the Colombian Armed Conflict Narratives Frame

Abstract

Some recent narratives about the armed conflict in Colombia have stressed the representation on the diversity of violence repertoires inscribed in the armed conflict frame upon women’s bodies. In this sense, these representations articulate a regime of visibility, as they problematize the ways in which the different cases of violence are structured and legitimized in the social frame. This paper analyzes the specific ways that the violence operates upon feminine bodies in the novels: Era mucho el miedo (2016) by Gloria Inés Peláez, La fruta del borrachero (2018) by Ingrid Rojas Contreras and La sembradora de cuerpos (2019) by Philip Potdevin.
