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.
