Abstract

RAMIREZ LOPEZ, WILMAR. Chichipatas Subjectivities, Scriptures, and Materialities in Era más grande el muerto by Luis Miguel Rivas. perifrasis. rev.lit.teor.crit. [online]. 2023, vol.14, n.28, pp.50-67.  Epub Jan 20, 2023. ISSN 2145-8987.  https://doi.org/10.25025/perifrasis202314.28.03.

This paper analyzes how the novel Era más grande el muerto reconsider the problem of the representation of sicarial violence through the installation of a new articulation of subjective signification. In this text, from an economic-materialistic angle, Rivas proble-matizes this modulation of violence from the circulation ways of the commodities and the ways that produce, according to subject ideals, a chichipatas's subjectivities, which had not been considered in the hegemonic narratives about the topic. In the story this subjectivity articulation spreads to build chichipatas materialities and scriptures that install a new sensible regime more vulnerable, more doubtful, and doubly marginal which configures a rupture in the violence dynamics.

Keywords : colombian literature; sicarial literature; contemporary literature; narrative; subjectivity; violence; chichipatos; Luis Miguel Rivas.
