This article discusses how testimonial literature written by criminals in 1970s Venezuela, build alternative models of citizenship that, epistemically, break ethical standards, and the anthropological, pedagogical and sociological legacy of modernity. The analysis focuses on the testimonial novels : Retén deCatia (1972) by Juan Sebastian Aldana, Soy un delincuente (1974) by Ramón Antonio Brizuela and Cárcel Modelo Máxima Seguridad(1976) Franco Calletano Yon. The three works are part of the testimonial genre that emerged manifest in the late 60's in Latin America and, according to theorists such as John Beverley (1987), comes from a lived experience of repression, poverty, exploitation, marginalization, etc. With a basis in theories expounded by Michel Foucault (1993), this study shows that the denunciatory act is the source of testimonies are masked in a discourse articulated « outside the law » in order to imagine an alternative project of the nation through reading and writing.
