Here and now, there are writings that are configured under the dynamic of a shout. That shout is present in Mexican writer Beatriz Rivas’ Jamás, nadie (2017). The theme is the migration of Chinese to the north of Mexico in search of a better life. The trigger: the envy of the Mexicans which resulted in the savage slaughter of Chinese. This article investigates the importance of the shout, as a symbolic resource that represents the silent tragedy suffered by the protagonists of this novel, as well as their endure. To this end, we frame it into the hermeneutics of Paul Ricoeur and Andrés Ortiz-Osés, as well as the reflections around the shout of the Italian psychoanalyst Massimo Recalcati, the analysis of the violence by the French philosopher René Girard, and the conceptualization of the pain that the Mexican writer Cristina Rivera Garza establishes.
