For Montemayor, the guerrilla uprisings result from institutional violence exercised by the State, which seeks to restore its own institutions using the insurgents as scapegoat. Keywords: institutionalized violence, structural violence, scapegoat, guerrilla, necrostate Este texto aborda cómo Carlos Montemayor en Guerra en El Paraíso descoloca a los guerrilleros de las distorsiones o estereotipos que forman parte del discurso oficial, desde el cual se ha justificado la violencia hacia la población campesina en aras de la “paz social”. Para el escritor, los levantamientos guerrilleros tienen origen en una violencia institucional por parte del Estado, que busca refundar sus instituciones retomando a grupos insurgentes como chivos expiatorios.
