Resumen
FLORES MARTOS, Juan Antonio. Towards a theory of cultural repression: trauma and violence in the Port of Veracruz. Nueva antropol [online]. 2005, vol.20, n.65, pp.93-112. ISSN 0185-0636.
This text intends to provide elements of the ethnography of the practices and speeches that form the cultural incarnation of violence in the urban culture of the Port of Veracruz, a post-colonial and peripheral scene that shares elements of the cultural map of the Caribbean societies. The author intends to provide descriptions of the presence of rape practices, the incorporation of mistreat and institutionalized formulas of domestic violence. The female body, is revealed as a mutilated and paralyzed territory that expresses trauma and the experience of pain in chronic, paralyzing or degenerative illness. Meanwhile there is an omnipresent libertine-masculine imaginary with an aggressive character in the reality and tales of the people of Veracruz.
Palabras llave : Sexual violence; gender; domestic mistreat; masculine oppression.
