• Resumen

  • In this analisis of De fronteras, the collection of short stories by the Salvadorian writer Claudia Hernández, I study how the writer, through the use of a grotesque aesthtic, critiques the way violence has become normalized in a neoliberal state. I show that in the enunciation of the normalization of the grotesque, Hernández posits the notion of contemporary time as a discursive space already constructed by history but also ready to be constructed by the reader.
