ASENSI PEREZ, Manuel. Violence, Myth and Sabotage in Cóbraselo caro by Elmer Mendoza. Lit. mex [online]. 2014, vol.25, n.1, pp.103-122. ISSN 2448-8216.

Taking into account the foundations of Criticism as sabotaje, this essay aims to analyze Élmer Mendoza' s novel Cóbraselo caro as a performative effect of Juan Rulfo's novel Pedro Páramo. Through the study of linguistic, thematic and situational relationships between these novels, shows that even if Cóbraselo caro is a performative effect of Pedro Páramo, implies Elmer Mendoza self sabotaje in relation to many of his narrative work. It points out also that such a self-sabotage is carried out through the use of the Prehispanic myth of the bones becoming healing stones as a path for cleaning the violence in mexican society.

Palabras llave : Élmer Mendoza; Criticism as sabotaje; Prehispanic myth; History of Mexican Literature; Performativity.
