The violent history of El Salvador offers a unique setting to examine how the written word has been manipulated and subverted in literature during periods of heightened repression and suffering. An in depth discourse analysis of various narrative forms and techniques was performed to shed light into the contradictions, conflicts and struggles faced by these texts in their particular historical context. In this Central American country of only 8,108 square miles the intensity of survival and struggle is reflected in the constant presence of massacres. Starting with one of the most brutal conquests in the New World at the hands of Pedro de Alvarado to the present postwar period which starts in 1992, that could be seen as a fragmentation and dislocation of the armed conflict, El Salvador has experienced the systematic genocide of indigenous people and the mass killings of political dissidents. Two massacres are of importance to this analysis, the 1932 massacre during which approximately twenty-five thousand indigenous peasants were massacred by the military in a matter of weeks, and the 1981 massacre at El Mozote and other towns in the northeast region of the country, in which about one thousand children, women and men were killed in a three day sweep by military forces. The dimension of the agony and terror lived during these periods of extreme violence in El Salvador transcends any attempt at representation. But Salvadoran literature provides a window into a unique discourse which struggles to escape the entrapments of language. The first chapter examines three texts which are important in documenting the atrocities committed during the recent civil war, in particular the massacre at El Mozote, an enclave in the northeastern part of the country. These texts are Massacre at El Mozote, by Mark Danner, Terquedad del Izote, by Carlos Henríquez Consalvi, and Luciérnagas en El Mozote, also by Henríquez Consalvi. In the second chapter the literary works of Salarrué are examined at three different stages his production and historical circumstances. Three texts were examined closely: the novella El Cristo Negro, two books of short stories Cuentos de Barro and Trasmallo, and his last published novel Catleya Luna. The last chapter includes newspaper articles of Diario del Salvador printed before and after the 1932 massacre, and a collection of drawings of tortured and dead bodies, by artist Roberto Huezo, in permanent display at the Oscar Arnulfo Romero Chapel in San Salvador, El Salvador. | |
