This article analyzes the role of absence in Sara Uribe’s Antígona Gonzalez through the work’s construction of characters, portrayal of violence, and conceptualization of justice. By considering Antígona González as a “narconarrative”, this study illustrates how the work is innovative vis-à-vis most texts that stem from geographies and communities plagued by narcotraffic. Ultimately, this analysis examines how Antígona González engages in a dialogue with “narcoculture” and its glamorization by casting light on the often-ignored themes of absence and disappearance.Downloads
