Zusammenfassung
The work of Mery Yolanda Sánchez (1956) has focused prominently on the problem of violence in armed conflicts in Colombia. In this paper, we consider how Sánchez’s poems, from their literary specificity, resignify memory and pain of the victims. We develop three axes of analysis: violence, space and body. In the first axis, we study how the poet’s work provokes a complex thought of violent events in order to create a particular discourse about violence. In the second, how Sánchez’s poems locate violence not in geographical but emotional terms to raise an imaginary of a shared territory. Finally, we analyze how poems dialogue with the body. In the conclusions, we understand Sánchez’s poetry from the concept of “phantasmagoria”, where the voices of the victims appear as specters of unfinished pain.
