HACIA UNA MEMORIA TRAS LA “GUERRA CONTRA EL NARCO”: CUATRO NECROPOEMAS MEXICANOS.

TOWARDS A MEMORY AFTER THE “GUERRA CONTRA EL NARCO”: FOUR MEXICAN NECROPOEMS.

CALDERON Hinojosa, Felipe, 1962-; AGAMBEN, Giorgio, 1942-; AGONISM (Political science); VIOLENCE; MARES; BULLS; THEORISTS

Desde 2006, en México se ha multiplicado la producción de textos, tanto académicos como literarios, relacionados con la violencia generada en el país a causa de la estrategia securitaria de los gobiernos de México y Estados Unidos, desde el mandato del presidente Felipe Calderón (2006-2012) y George W. Bush (2001-2009); una estrategia que en realidad sirvió para otros objetivos como el extractivismo. En este artículo se analizan los poemas Los muertos de María Rivera, Querida fábrica de Dolores Dorantes, Disentimientos de la nación de Javier Raya y Antígona González de Sara Uribe. El análisis se hace en relación con dos constelaciones teóricas. Por un lado, los planteamientos de Giorgio Agamben, Rita Segato, Oswaldo Zavala y Luis Astorga, que explican la violencia como resultado de una estrategia esencialmente capitalista. Y por otro, las propuestas de Cristina Rivera Garza, Ana Cento Bull y Hans Lauge Hansen, así como de Daniel Inclán, las cuales buscan, desde el trabajo con el archivo y la memoria, distintas soluciones a los resultados trágicos que la violencia ha traído consigo.

From 2006 onwards it has been growing the production of academic and creative text works regarding the violence triggered by both Mexican and American governments, specially over the Felipe Calderon’s rule (2006-2012) and George Bush’s one (2001-2009). Depicted as if trying to end the insecurity, such a bilateral strategy ended up serving, in reality, for paving the way for the extractivism. This work aims to show how several academic, journalistic and literary works have rightly interpreted the latter. To do so the author analyzes Maria Rivera,’s Los Muertos, Dolores Dorantes’s Querida fabrica, Javier Raya’s Disentimientos de la nación and Sara Uribe’s Antígona González. The analysis is made taking into account two theoretical approaches. On the one hand, the works by Giorgio Agamben, Rita Segato, Oswaldo Zavala and Luis Astorga. They all explain the violence, in essence, as a result of a capitalist strategy. The other theoretical proposals are those elaborated by Cristina Rivera Garza, Ana Cento Bull and Hans Lauge Hansen, as well as by Daniel Inclán. Boosted by their work with archives, these theorists look for diverse vias to exit the dreadful results caused by violence. This text is intended to focus the actual causes of such a phenomenon in Mexico, and to utilize an array of proposals to imagine ways for exiting the violence. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
