ZARATE MENDIVELSO, Gincy  y  SANCHEZ RIVERA, Sonia Liced. The traces of silence in three novels of the Colombian armed conflict. Rev. Estud. Fem. [online]. 2024, vol.32, n.1, e90178.  Epub 01-Ene-2024. ISSN 1806-9584.  https://doi.org/10.1590/1806-9584-2024v32n190178.

This article interprets the relationships between the literary uses of silence and the forms of violence that some female characters go through within the novels Abraham entre bandidos, de Tomás González (2010), Muchacha al desaparecer, de Marta Renza (2009) y Candelaria, de Germán Castro Caicedo (2000). In essence, this analysis tries to determine the way silence configures women’s social representations in the works, while it exposes how it is incorporated into the mechanisms of violence exerted on these characters. The study of silence in literature opens a horizon of meanings that allows expanding its symbolic dimension and inferring places of enunciation, through the understanding of its dynamics in the discursive practices of the novels that are part of the corpus.
