| description | Since the early 1990s, the Mexican-American border region, especially Ciudad Juárez, has been haunted by hundreds of feminicides, i.e. the murder of girls and women whose violated and mutilated bodies are found in the surrounding desert or at waste disposal sites and whose murderers benefit from impunity. These bodies do not only represent different forms of violence, they also implicate certain social and cultural structures that result in the before-mentioned forms of murder, corruption or (postcolonial) hierarchies of power. Over the last years, national as well as international media has shown more and more interest in the feminicides. This article analyses the literary representation of the feminicides in Roberto Bolaño’s novel 2666(2004) and sets out to shed light on different perspectives and possibilities of a literary representation of violence |
