Descripción:
Latin American novelists have dealt with the dictatorship in their countries, thus, a number of readers learned about the history of this kind of political practice. States monopolize violence, but the State is just representative of dominant sectors in every society. Throughout time, instead of the insertion of democracy within official discourses, a minority group has taken advantage of fire-power for constructing dictatorial regimes. Because of this persistent appearance, dictatorship should be proposed as a natural attribute for states. However, for decades, a big writers group has published their novels on that political expression. They contribute in this way to undermine the popular support to de facto governments. Literary and historical narratives discourses seem overlap; both of them become supplementary to the public understanding on the political history. In addition, Machiavelli¿s ideas give the impression of coincidence with both kinds of text.
