Confabulación y violencia de género: la fantasía como arma política en Los recuerdos del porvenir de Elena Garro

This article seeks to reassess the power of creative fantasy when it is capable of transgressing time. In Recollections of Things to Come, Elena Garro rescues fantasy and presents it as the only resource at hand to transgress Mexican violence, by avoiding femicide or dismantling institutionalized injustice. This article also explores the different levels of gender violence that are present in the novel,  as well as shows how three of the characters take responsibility for acting in the face of injustice by changing the story through fantasy. These characters contest and subvert both the real world and political authority. Their fantasy is the producer of concrete facts, the transgressor of realities, and a force that bursts in on the physical world producing changes.
