Both texts tell about the massacre of peoples, with the indiscriminate extermination of men, women, children and elderly men and women. The stories are articulated from multiple perspectives, which include both the victims and the murderers as enunciators. This swarm of voices establishes a connection with the massacre as an experience of collective extermination in which perspectivism allows for the inclusion of victimizing masculinities, particularly the paramilitary group. This article seeks to highlight the ‘literarized” element from multiperspectivism by which these Colombian novelists face the disaster of the massacre, providing an implicit reading of ideological evaluation to the saturated explicitness of the literary procedure.","PeriodicalId":40660,"journal":{"name":"Catedral Tomada-Revista de Critica Literaria Latinoamericana-Journal of Latin American Literary Criticism","volume":"8 1","pages":"121-147"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-01-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"46282038","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This is a cultural concept which varies according to the place where the man grows up. In Colombia, the masculinity concept is permeated by the reality of armed conflict. In this context, masculinity has three fundamental characteristics: heterosexual, vigorous, provider/protector. In this article, the Colombian masculinity concept is analyzed in three contemporary Colombian plays written by women. This analysis allows for understanding the theater as the scenery where the masculinity concept can be broken. Also, a scenery where the society can recognize the multiplicity of masculinities which live in men.","PeriodicalId":40660,"journal":{"name":"Catedral Tomada-Revista de Critica Literaria Latinoamericana-Journal of Latin American Literary Criticism","volume":"8 1","pages":"176-215"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-01-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"47393600","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

On the one hand, it is the book that changed the author's life, as he himself has described it, and the only one whose writing process went through practically all the stages of his literary work: it originally appeared in 1973 and was re-edited in 1997 and 2009, each time with textual variations introduced by the author. On the other hand, the book seems to constitute the crystallization of a concept of writing, based on trust in absolutes and on the militant confrontation between the true and the false, from which the writer sought to distance himself in later on his career. In this article, we propose to analyze the way in which this displacement is reflected in the different versions of the book. We will see that the versions of 1997 and 2009 tend to dilute the confrontation between truth and falsehood that initially shaped the account of the events that took place in Trelew in 1972. Likewise, the rewritings detract from the People's role as a collective subject that provided the basis for the confrontation between truth and lie that organized the text.","PeriodicalId":40660,"journal":{"name":"Catedral Tomada-Revista de Critica Literaria Latinoamericana-Journal of Latin American Literary Criticism","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-01-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"70729134","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This operation is presented as a producer of subjective transformations of the characters, as verified in certain areas of Latin American literary discourse in the 20th century. Among these are three novels by Somers: The naked woman (1950), Solo los elefantes encuentran mandragora (1986) and Viaje al corazon del dia: elegia por un secreto amor (1986), which participate in this nominal poetics. In these texts, the nominal displacements cause the reconfiguration or even an inauguration of new forms of relationship between the characters. So the use of this thematic, structural, and subjective resource exceeds the mere change of nomenclature and reveals itself as a pole of subjective and intersubjective production.","PeriodicalId":40660,"journal":{"name":"Catedral Tomada-Revista de Critica Literaria Latinoamericana-Journal of Latin American Literary Criticism","volume":"8 1","pages":"356-394"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-01-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"47586252","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This essay proposes that historical novels, despite being located in a space-time already travelled, maintain a matrix of meaning anchored in the present reality's interpellation.

For this, following Rancière and Agamben, it’s necessary to promote dissent by making visible the “parts with no part” of the social body and the fissures of the present, which can be seen in some narratives of the \"rural turn\", a growing trend in Latin American literature. In the case of Colombia, this displacement, closely linked to the construction of memories of the armed conflict, vindicates stories that have been ignored by the main discourses about violence, such as damage to ecosystems and the dispossession of peasant and ancestral territories. In order to determine the relationship between the memories of the armed conflict and the rural turn, I analyze two novels: Los derrotados, by Pablo Montoya, and Elástico de sombra, by Juan Cárdenas. Starting from the similarities and differences between the two, I will outline at the end some general lines about the rural turn and its importance in current literature.","PeriodicalId":40660,"journal":{"name":"Catedral Tomada-Revista de Critica Literaria Latinoamericana-Journal of Latin American Literary Criticism","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-01-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"70729123","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
