GAIRAUD RUIZ, Hilda. The bestiary of Claudia Hernandez: a representation of subjectivities in postwar literature. Káñina [online]. 2016, vol.40, n.2, pp.55-71. ISSN 2215-2636.
The main objective of this essay is to examine diverse short stories written by the Salvadorian author Claudia Hernández within the category of the postwar literature. The name of bestiary in the narration emerges from the association of the symbolic representation of animals to characters that integrate diverse social groups, if one correlates the history of El Salvador specifically during the war and the postwar period with the stories. The discursive intention of representing characters as beasts is to evidence the violence and degradation that have characterized the existential condition of some types of subjectivities in the history of this Central American country.
