Abstract: »In the fourth part of 2666 (2004) by Roberto Bolaño (“The Part about the Crimes”), hundreds of women have been raped, mutilated and murdered by unknown killers in the fictional city of Santa Teresa, in Northern Mexico. Most of these women, workers at maquiladoras, have been dismembered like the machines whose pieces they have to assemble at the factories. In this article, I shall shed light on the schemas of intelligibility that prevent the recognition of these women’s deaths as “grievable” (Butler). This impossible recognition is rooted, according to the novel, in two forms of violence that result in the consideration of these women’s lives as “waste”: a systemic gender violence but also a neoliberal labor violence against the precariat.« (Source: Trans-)
