Fictions of the genre memory in the argentinian novel: New subjectivities for the woman under repression

Authors

Abstract

This following article analyzes crossings between ‘memory’ and ‘genre’ in the recent narrative from Argentina, questioning the existence of a particular aesthetic that demonstrates this alliance. ¿Which would be the characteristics proposed by this new aesthetic of ‘genre memory’? Our hypothesis postulates the deployment of a memorialistic exercise, grounded in the narrative materialization of he sexual-difference, by means of disarticulation mechanism of ‘the feminine’, understood as homogeneous and static meaning. For the analysis we work the novels El fin de la historia (1996) de Liliana Héker y La mujer en cuestión (2009) de María Teresa Andruetto.
