Abstract

Starting from Zavala’s concern about the political neutralization of the narcoculture products, this paper aims to rebuild a re-politization of journalism from literature. We analyse the ethical, esthetical, and political implication of the fictionalization of the journalist, their voice and body, in the novels by Roberto Bolaño, Cristina Rivera Garza and Pedro Ángel Palou, which deal with narcoviolence in an explicit or implicit way. The symbolic characters created by those authors set an urgent discourse on the responsibility of art and journalism about how to represent narco and its social effects.
