Señales de una decapitación moral: Tribalismo, impunidad y autoexilio en tres obras mexicanas sobre narcoviolencia

In the light of three contemporary Mexican writings, we will analyze the different manifestations and consequences that narcoviolence has had in contemporary Mexico. The chronicle El hombre sin cabeza by Sergio González Rodríguez (2009) will allow us, at first, to explore the ritual indications of tribalism practices that still exist for drug traffickers; then, with the novel Trabajos del reino by Yuri Herrera (2004), we can observe the problem of impunity and the elements that direct the machinery of domination from the State to the reigns of drug traffickers; and finally, from the novel Señales que precederán al fin del mundo, also by Herrera (2009), the self-exile and the recomposition of a new identity will be analyzed as a corollary of the dissatisfaction that the subjects who are victims of the marginality and injustices within the Mexican borders. Three narrative works that show the signs of a moral decapitation that is experienced every day in said space, both inside and outside its borders.
