VIOLENCIA(S) (IN)VISIBLE(S) EN LA OBRA DE TOMÁS GONZÁLEZ: LOS CASOS DE PRIMERO ESTABA EL MAR, TEMPORAL Y ABRAHAM ENTRE BANDIDOS.

Murders, tortures, rapes and terrorist attacks are not predominant topics in Primero estaba el mar, Temporal and Abraham entre bandidos. These novels by Tomás González, therefore, move away from the graphic representation of violence that has proliferated in Colombian media and monopolized Colombian literary production since the 1990s. This article tries, nonetheless, to demonstrate that violence is still there, beyond the visible and the immediate. Based on Johan Galtung's, Slavoj Žižek's and Byung Chul-Han's theoretical reflections on violence, this article addresses significant questions as: Why is so difficult to recognize, classify and enunciate violence in the Colombian literary context?
