Abstract
GONZALEZ VALERIO, María Antonia. Talking to be heard or about reading and writing evil in incessant penury. En-clav. pen [online]. 2022, vol.16, n.32, e543. Epub Sep 26, 2022. ISSN 2594-1100. https://doi.org/10.46530/ecdp.v0i32.543.
This article discusses the relationship between writing and reading from the philosophical hermeneutics of Paul Ricœur to critically reflect on what is the purpose of writing evil and what kind of reading it can foster. Based on the analysis of narrative structures and the construction of the plot proposed by this hermeneutic, this article focuses on some stories of gender violence in contemporary Mexican narrative written by women, which reveal relations of oppression and domination that, far from being extraordinary, constitute the order and dynamics of the evil that is repeated and perpetuated in our everyday lives. The act of reading is presented here as an ethical-political commitment to listen to what is narrated and to respond.
