Violencia, poder y afectos: narrativas del miedo en Latinoamérica ofrece una contribución crítica al estudio de las representaciones de los miedos sociopolíticos en la literatura y el cine contemporáneos. Este volumen estudia las consecuencias inmediatas y de larga duración de la violencia y el terror en las sociedades latinoamericanas desde varias perspectivas teóricas. Los capítulos del libro abordan dos preguntas centrales: cómo se han asumido, asimilado y representado los diversos temores sociopolíticos que caracterizan a unas sociedades marcadas por el conflicto, la represión y el abuso de poder? y cómo este afecto ha marcado los discursos estéticos e ideológicos de las producciones culturales? Mediante el estudio de las obras de escritores y productores culturales contemporáneos incluso Mónica Ojeda, Cristina Rivera Garza, Rodrigo Rey Rosa, Alonso Cueto y Manlio Argueta, los colaboradores de este libro examinan el clima de terror y ansiedad provocados por las guerras civiles en Guatemala, El Salvador y Perú; la guerra de las drogas en México; la invasión estadounidense a Panamá en 1989; así como las dinámicas de desigualdad de clase y género en Ecuador y México.
Violencia, poder y afectos: narrativas del miedo en Latinoamérica offers a critical contribution to studies of the representation of socio-politically inflicted fears in contemporary literature and film. This volume looks at the immediate and long-lasting consequences of violence and terror in Latin American societies from a variety of theoretical perspectives. Chapters of the book engage with two central questions: How have sociopolitical fears been enacted, represented and performed in societies marked by repression, conflict and abuse of power? And how has this emotion shaped aesthetic and ideological discourses and cultural productions? Looking at contemporary writers and cultural producers including Mónica Ojeda, Cristina Rivera Garza, Rodrigo Rey Rosa, Alonso Cueto and Manlio Argueta, the contributors of this volume examine the climate of terror and anxiety resulting from the civil wars in Guatemala, El Salvador and Peru; the war on drugs in Mexico; the 1989 U.S. invasion of Panama; and dynamics of class and gender power imbalances in Ecuador and Mexico.
