Literature as a form of elaboration. Analysis of El olvido que seremos, by Héctor Abad Faciolince [La literatura como forma de elaboración. Análisis de El olvido que seremos, de Héctor Abad Faciolince]

Abstract

From a presentation of the contrast between the literature of violence and contemporary literature on violence, this article proposes the analysis of El olvido que seremos, by Héctor Abad Faciolince, in light of the ideas of Dominick LaCapra in front of some concepts of his book Writing the history, writing the trauma, with the intention of proposing that the writing of this text meant a way to elaborate the duel for the Colombian writer and, in addition, a mirror in which many victims of the colombian conflict have been reflected. © 2022, Universidad Compultense Madrid.
