With an understanding of violence and nonviolence as socially contingent concepts, \u003ci\u003eEmplotting Nonviolence in Colombian Autobiographies \u003c\/i\u003efocuses on the life writings of three Colombian social movement leaders (the U’wa Esperanza-Aguablanca’s \u003ci\u003eTengo los pies en la cabeza\u003c\/i\u003e, the Afrocolombian Rudecindo Castro’s \u003ci\u003eCalle caliente\u003c\/i\u003e, and the LGBTQ+ artivist Manuel Antonio Velandia’s \u003ci\u003eDe homosexual a marica sujeto de derechos\u003c\/i\u003e) and contrasts them with the memoirs of a hegemonic ex-president (Álvaro Uribe’s \u003ci\u003eNo Lost Causes\u003c\/i\u003e). These autobiographies are analyzed using a \"contextual narratology of contingency\". This is a narrative approach that examines \"emplotment\" —the structuring of storytelling sequences and its narrative devices— in the light of historical literary genres. Moreover, through a context-sensitive literary lens, this approach emphasizes each book’s rhetoric of group-oriented self-representation, or \"collective narration\" and the way literary genres inflect the representation of nonviolence.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Taylor \u0026 Francis Ltd","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55476761362776,"sku":"9781041135364","price":198.4,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0278\/1295\/4195\/files\/9781041135364_51e5a9ab-74ec-4d74-9919-476e37229334.jpg?v=1778675462","url":"https:\/\/agendabookshop.com\/products\/emplotting-nonviolence-in-colombian-autobiographies","provider":"Agenda Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
