| Summary: |
We present an analysis of the novel The Captive�s Saxophone, by the Colombian
writer Ramón Molinares Sarmiento. The literary narrative was an
instrumental to reconstruct the political judgment that the guerrilla group M-19
made in 1976, the afro-descendant from Cartagena José Raquel Mercado,
union leader and President of the Confederation of Workers of Colombia
(cut), warning that, despite the narration is not faithful to historical fact, in
this categories that lead to critical analysis will reveal this fact. Our purpose
is to specify, in this case, one of the forms of political violence that Ariel
Dorfm an conceptualizes as horizontal violence, in addition to revealing the
relationship between literature and the law with this important event in the
history of the country.
To develop our purpose we turn to an overview of The Captive�s Saxophone,
from the particularities of the fact that narrates, then, in the section
about Literature and Reality: Place Without Limits, we realize the reasons
for the author�s writing; In Music for Sadness, we reveal the profile of each
of the protagonists of the novel, the confrontations faced by guerrillas on the
execution of the judgment described in the doubtful complexity of sentence;
in Afro-descendance Treason, putting in mind the relationship between the
characters derived from their common condition of African descent and, finally, in the Futility of War, we present the meaning it has for two of its actors: guerrillas and military. |
