The narratives of evil; symbolic investigation of forced displacement

Abstract

The article places the narratives of evil within the themes and issues which have been of interest in the field of what is now termed, narrative inquiry. Systematizes narratives of evil in three orientations, contributing to the study of this type of research, particularly on issues related to ethics and politics. It identifies three types of guidance: aesthetics, ethics and politics, but interest focuses on the last two guidelines for the value they have for the analysis of forced displacement. Finally, a summary outlines the moral sentiments present in narratives of some displaced youths, which sentiments they express, precisely the sensitivity and the rejection of the breach and gives rise to the configuration of the symbolic structures of evil.
