Abstract: » In this article we propose a reading of the feminicides represented in the fourth part of 2666 (2004) by Roberto Bolaño (“The Part about the Crimes”) and in Chicas muertas[Dead Girls] (2014) by Selva Almada based on what we understand as “basurización” [symbolic trashing] of the female body. This trashing is provoked, according to the texts, by various factors, among which we propose the central role of the neoliberalization of the economy, a macho discourse (symbolic violence), impunity and the desensitization of the citizens through the repetition of these crimes, that is, their excess.« (Source: Moara)
