Summary:

This scholarly anthology examines the concept of affliction as represented in literature and film from Spanish, Colombian, and Chilean contexts, while also addressing its universal relevance. Through essays analyzing works by authors such as Piedad Bonnett, Isabel Allende, and Lina Meruane, as well as films by directors like Oliver Laxe, the book explores themes of grief, suffering, and existential anguish. It delves into the artistic portrayal of affliction, its cultural and psychological dimensions, and its connection to broader global crises such as war, climate change, and social inequality. The collection draws on philosophical and historical frameworks, including Simone Weil's reflections on affliction and Michel Foucault's medical archaeology, to provide a multidimensional analysis of the subject.
