VILLAMIZAR, Gina. VOICES OF RESISTANCE: A READING OF THREE SHORT STORIES FROM FUENMAYOR. perifrasis. rev.lit.teor.crit. [online]. 2015, vol.6, n.11, pp.72-88. ISSN 2145-8987.

This article examines the main characters in three stories in the collection La muerte en la calle (1967), by José Félix Fuenmayor: "Utria se destapa", "Con el doctor afuera" y "La muerte en la calle". This analysis suggests that the language of peasants and marginalized individuals constitutes an important tool not only to capture the ideological tensions between two world views, the urban and the rural one, but also to symbolically resist the pressure and control of the urban society.

Palabras clave : Modernity; failed transculturation; rural world view; urban experience; language.
