Comienza por delinear la tendencia en la crítica literaria actual de situar esta producción o bien del lado de la resistencia o bien del lado de la complicidad, a la vez que reflexiona sobre los riesgos de estructurar la reflexión crítica en torno a esta oposición. A continuación, el artículo propone un giro a la impureza como una forma de dislocar la oposición complicidad vs. resistencia y de alumbrar la ambigüedad de las obras que estudiamos y de nuestra propia óptica interpretativa. Finalmente, a través de una lectura del cuento ‘Cabeza Voladora’, publicado en la colección Las voladoras (2020) de Mónica Ojeda, el artículo busca demostrar que la idea de la impureza puede sensibilizar nuestras lecturas a formas de resistencia contenidas en prácticas estéticas ambiguas.

This article explores literature's contribution to this broader process of feminist collective subjectivity formation. It does so by means of a reading of two recent yet already emblematic feminicide narratives in literature: Selva Almada's Dead Girls and Cristina Rivera Garza's Liliana's Invincible Summer. The article starts by making a case for the importance of attending to the rhetorical dimensions of contemporary literary engagements with feminicide to better understand how they mobilize memory with a view to enabling political change. Subsequently, the analysis shows how, in the process of commemorating gender violence, Almada and Rivera Garza tactically interpellate readers into communities of feminicide remembrance with the aim of bolstering ongoing feminist struggles against gender violence.

His work on multidirectional memory and traumatic realism has influenced scholars working in the fields of memory studies, genocide and Holocaust studies, postcolonial studies, and beyond. More recently, with The Implicated Subject: Beyond Victims and Perpetrators (2019), Rothberg sets out to expand the way we think and talk about political violence and injustice by offering a new critical term: the implicated subject. This interview was conducted via email between February and early April 2020.
