Violence, Marginality, Testimony, OralityAbstract
In the last decades the increasing urban violence has shown not only great changes in the social behavior as well as have influenced the culture. In the thought of violence lives the threat of the unexpected. The increasing interest for testimonial narratives carries the desire to obtain, by the others experience, the necessary knowledge to overcome chaos. I want to show how the testimonial and the orality in Marcelino Freire’ stories provoke our mind to go beyond the show of violence.Downloads
