What is Violencia simbólica y desafectos en El taller del tiempo de Álvaro Uribe about?
The objective of this paper is to analyse the relation between violence and affect in Uribe's El taller del tiempo (2003). This polyphonic novel reflects the conflicts of three generations in an upperclass family in Mexico City. The story revolves around the despotic patriarch, Miguel Primero, his son Miguel Segundo and the latter's son, Miguel Tercero. Miguel Segundo, victim of his father's cruelty, becomes in turn the 'executioner' of his own son. The lack of affection between parents and children, and also between spouses, leads to a series of emotions such as envy, anger, fear and hatred. The book is at the same time a philosophical reflection on the eternal return and the obsession with the time machine that would allow us to go back in time and change destiny. We will then try to understand how Uribe, in his play with narrative tenses, constructs a mosaic of different manifestations of both physical and symbolic violence.
