- Title
CARTOGRAFÍAS DE VIOLENCIA: CENTROS, PROVINCIAS Y CIRCULACIÓN TRANSNACIONAL EN EL RUIDO DE LAS COSAS AL CAER, DE JUAN GABRIEL VÁSQUEZ.

- Abstract
El ruido de las cosas al caer (2011), Juan Gabriel Vásquez's commercially successful novel, reproduces a discursive cartography that has historically shaped Colombia according to the relationship between its center and peripheries. This cartography goes back to the 19th century liberal discourses about population and territory. Following current tendencies in translation, this novel reproduces the imaginary of Latin America as a region that oscillates between paradise and wilderness, and between beauty and violence, not far removed from the Magical Realism Imperative that Vásquez supposedly leaves behind.
