Abstract
The text examines narrative violence, by experimenting with ways of rewriting narratives, such as detective stories, travel stories and campus stories, those both ancient and contemporary forms of narration. Experimenting and improvisation displace and, eventually, unveil violence that is embedded in the (patriarchal) narratives. Different focalizations, enunciations and movements of desire are used for the purpose. The main modes of displacement are, on the one hand, embodying and sexing the figurations of subjectivity, the narrators included, and, on the other hand, feminist deconstruction, with the help of irony. Who killed the tourist? And, where is the body? Hiding, or finding, the body of the woman is, still, the main initiative of both academic and crime discourse.
