This paper analyses one of the most influential texts in recent Mexican literature, Antígona González (2012) by Sara Uribe. At first, the social, political and aesthetic context in which Uribe's piece was written is presented, and then the textual strategies used by Uribe to generate collective authorship are studied, with special attention to the theoretical contributions made by Cristina Rivera Garza and her concept of"disappropriation". Finally, the article proposes an interpretation of the work both in its formal aspects and in its ethical-political aspect, developing its link with Judith Butler's proposals. The present study relates both dimensions, locating the work in a tradition of militant writing whose goal is to carry out the mourning for the disappeared in the northern border of Mexico.
