Cuir clib leis | Achoimre: | In La Fiesta del Chivo (The Feast of the Goat), by Mario Vargas Llosa, the author presents the dictator of the Dominican Republic, Rafael Leonidas Trujillo, as a hybrid between patriarchal authority and authoritarian bureaucracy. The reflection that the author suggests is centered on the observation of the relationship between representations of the leader’s credibility among the Dominican people and supposed “realities”, concerning these representations in the novel, that is, the relationship between literary fiction and the supposed cultural reading of the legitimacy of power in popular culture. One approach to this never-ending relationship between the representation and its object and the claims of adequacy between the two allows us to observe the relativization of violence that is part of the aforementioned literary representation. |
