Even though our goal is a theoretical dissertation of the notions of violence and monstrosity, as read in the widespread production of a variety of authors, we believe that the different modulations in the literary texts can shed light on a central aspect of the author’s poetics: the construction of monstrosity through the amplification of poverty’s traces on a person’s body. With this in mind, we analyze “Bajo el agua negra” and “El chico sucio”, two short stories from the 2016 book Las cosas que perdimos en el fuego. We consider that what seems to be a try to unveil certain fears that sprout from class prejudices, with the intention to denounce the oppressive situation in which the lower socioeconomic strata of society is forced to live in, winds up being, due to the use of the aforementioned devices, a reaffirmation of those misconceptions. El presente artículo propone abordar la articulación entre la violencia —y sus posibilidades como medio fundador y garante de un orden— y la figura del monstruo, a partir de dos cuentos de Mariana Enríquez. Si bien lo que buscamos es una dilucidación teórica de las nociones de violencia y monstruosidad, apoyados en una serie de autores que las trabajan, creemos que sus distintas modulaciones en los relatos puede echar luz sobre un aspecto central de la poética de la autora: la construcción del monstruo mediante la amplificación de los rasgos de la pobreza. Con este fin, analizaremos dos cuentos extraídos del libro Las cosas que perdimos en el fuego (2016): “Bajo el agua negra” y “El chico sucio”. Sostenemos que lo que parece ser un intento por develar temores cuya fuente reside en un prejuicio de clase para denunciar una situación opresiva termina por ser, debido a la utilización de los recursos mencionados, una reafirmación de esas ideas.
