Voces de ellas: una aproximación literaria a la fenomenología del sufrimiento en la respuesta ética.

Abstract

The phenomenon of suffering is portrayed through the words made into stories, poetry, and illustration, making it possible to identify their pain as an experience narrated in the present. For this article, the work of three Colombian writers will be taken into account: María Mercedes Carranza, Patricia Nieto, and Mery Yolanda Sánchez. Those traces can be discovered as a mark turn memory in the voices of its characters where lines describe it as an indelible scar. The word as an ethical response allows the sufferer to catalyze the pain by turning the story back in time, with a voice and a story to tell. In this way, this article arises as the product of the doctoral research entitled: “Phenomenology of suffering, voices in the ethical responsibility of the face”, where the tools of qualitative phenomenological research are used, carrying out an approach from a methodology that makes the experience factor through the voices present in literary creation, in turn, the central resource of the pheno-menology of ethics. From the above, the following concern arises: how can phenomenology contribute to the recognition of voices, present in the literature of suffering in Colombia? The challenge presented here remains within the framework of the discussion where the dialogue of knowledge between philosophy and literature is necessary as a form of reflection that allows the recognition of those voices.
