Abstract
RUIZ EFFIO, Miguel. Political violence and domestication of the traumatic experience in the story "En el vientre de la noche", by José de Piérola. Letras [online]. 2020, vol.91, n.134, pp.241-250. ISSN 0378-4878. http://dx.doi.org/10.30920/letras.91.134.13.
Political violence constitutes one of the contemporary manifestations of urban violence. In Peru, the period of the internal armed conflict (1980-2000) represents a traumatic experience that has found in the realistic literature an opportune vehicle to testify to this problem. The present work analyzes the story "En el vientre de la noche", by the Peruvian writer José de Piérola (Lima, 1961), with the aim of identifying the mechanisms of representation of political violence and its marks in the text, both in the argument as in the rhetorical elements of speech.
Keywords : Narrative; Stories; Realistic literature; Political violence; José de Piérola.
