Abstract
The present article considers the notion of style proposed by Paul Ricœur, and his hermeneutic concepts about interpretation of a text. For such purpose, the chronicle named “The woman that didn’t allow to be punched” by Laura Restrepo, a Colombian journalist and writer. This hermeneutical analysis demonstrates how certain strategies inherent to literature, used by the author, contribute to the objective of denouncing social phenomenon, which transcend the boundaries of our country.
