Catarina Costa’s Periferia is a challenging novel on several levels, which offers us the possibility of thinking about the issue of modernity in relation to violence against women. In this article, I intend to analyze Periferia in the light of Mary Louise Pratt’s article, “Modernity and Periphery: Toward a Global and Relational Analysis” and philosophers of modernity/coloniality such as Nelson Maldonado-Torres, among others. It is my intention, in this space, to show how the novel Periferia deconstructs the “Eurocentric fallacy,” in the expression of Enrique Dussel (DUSSEL, 1995, p. 65), and patriarchal, rooted in modernity.
