Paranoia, horror y tabú en el horror latinoamericano escrito por mujeres

In this paper we propose to investigate the ascendancy of the horror novel in
the new literary proposals of the current fantastic, particularly in writers such
as Mariana Enriquez, Liliana Colanzi, Giovanna Rivero, Solange Rodríguez
Pappe and Gabriela Arciniegas among others. From the theoretical tools on
gender, and in the crossing with other modern genres such as the Crime Story,
the article aims to examine the representation of the tension between body
expression and governmentality in late capitalism. For this reason, the approach
focuses on the cross between critical reading of literary structures and critique
of governmentality. Our aim, therefore, is to find out the capacity of literary forms to join the challenges of the social sciences in the representation of the
contradictions of contemporaneity.
