| | | Title | | "El sicario en su alegoría: La ficcionalización de la violencia en la novela colombiana de finales del siglo XX," Taller de Letras
| | | Publisher | | Editorial Universidad Católica | | | Publication place | | Santiago, Chile | | | Publication year | | November, 2002 | | | Page | | 7-20 | | | Volume | | | | | Issue | | 31 | | | Notes | | Cabañas Bravo examines the representation of violence in three Colombian narrative works: La virgen de los Sicarios (1994) by Fernando Vallejo, Noticia de un secuestro (1996) by Gabriel García Márquez, and Rosario Tijeras (1999) by Jorge Franco Ramos. Precisely, the hitman figure becomes an allegoric figure, through which the complexities of the issue of violence in society are explored. These narrative works recompose the contradictions, hypocrisies and tricks of the moral and social codes of Colombia, as well as offering new interpretations of the hitman as a symptom of deeper sociopolitical issues. This literature demythifies the causes of violence, deconstructing the myths created by the elite class. | | | URL | | | |

| | | Title | | "El tema del poder en "La Cándida Erendira,"" Análisis Político
| | | Publisher | | Instituto de Estudios Politicos y Relaciones Internacionales, Universidad Nacional de Colombia | | | Publication place | | Bogotá, Colombia | | | Publication year | | May-Aug, 2001 | | | Page | | 100-112 | | | Volume | | 43 | | | Issue | | | | | Notes | | This article views Gabriel Garcia Marquez's (1972) "La increible y triste historia de la cándida Erendira y su abuela desalmada (The Incredible and Sad Tale of Innocent Erendira and her Heartless Grandmother)" as not simply rhetoric but a portrait of the human experience of power. The story, style, structure, and social geographical context of the book are contrasted with those of other works by García Márquez. The psychology of the grandmother in the books is tied to that of the mythical dictator in El otoño del patriarca (The Autumn of the Patriarch; the author modeled this personality type on numerous Latin American and historical dictators, with parts drawn from Shakespeare and Italian neorealist films. Religious, sexual, and material symbols of power in the story are discussed. | | | URL | | | |

Secondly, I will present an outline focusing on Colombian literature, still in process, from two novels, Pax by José María Rivas Groot y Lorenzo Marroquín, and One Hundred Years of Solitude by Gabriel García Márquez. I am unsure how conscious is the relationship between the two, but what is certain is that the first influences the intention of the second." | | | URL | | | |

| | | Publisher | | Carfax | | | Publication place | | Abingdon, Oxfordshire, UK | | | Publication year | | November, 1997 | | | Page | | 173-181 | | | Volume | | 6 | | | Issue | | 2 | | | Notes | | A passage from Gabriel Garcia Marquez's novel, Leaf Storm (1957), is used as an example to explain transculturation literature. The naturalist voice of the narrator is substituted for an "outward and inward vision," allowing the villager's perspective on modernization to coexist with an external view of events. Garcia Marquez's techniques provoke observations about literary historiography as the movement of culture, tradition, and institutions rather than as a project of classification. | | | URL | | | |

| | | Publisher | | | | | Publication place | | Aarhus, Denmark | | | Publication year | | June, 2002 | | | Page | | 37- 56 | | | Volume | | 6 | | | Issue | | | | | Notes | | Arango asserts that by trying to take on the theme of women in García Márquez, what stands out is the abundant absence of critical studies specific to the theme. In general, the themes most studied are social-historical affairs related to Latin American and Colombian history, intertextual relationships of style and the maturity of the author in the building of a national and popular art, and of course biographical themes. | | | URL | | | |
