The Poetics of Fragmentation in La sangre de la aurora by Claudia Salazar

Abstract

The article presents the analysis of the novel La sangre de la aurora by Claudia Salazar from a poetics of fragmentation to explain the aesthetic and discursive proposal of the text. It is proposed that two stages of fragmentation are built in the novel: the fragmentation of the female body and of language. From this, and from the configuration of a female subjectivity, it is narrated using the female body as a physical and symbolic space in which the events of the plot take place and the period of political violence in Peru between the years 80s and 90s. On the other hand, the role of memory is analyzed as a space
for collective construction and reunion, in which the possibility of a return to unity and the conclusion of the two stages of fragmentation are proposed.
