Subaltern Confessions II: Modes of Representation of Collaboration and Guilt Post-Dictatorship Novels in Argentina

Authors

  • Macarena Areco Morales Pontificia Universidad Católica de Chile

Abstract

In this article I analyze the novels El fin de la historia (1996) by Liliana Heker, La mujer en cuestión (2003) by María Teresa Andruetto and Una muchacha muy bella by Julián López (2013), in order to study on the imaginary division of guilt in the context of the last military dictatorship in Argentina. Experimentalism, the objectivity of the report, and aestheticism are ways of representation which I distinguish in these works.
