Actores sociales y representación literaria

Abstract

Argentine’s historical experience, since the dictatorship ended until the beginning of the XXI century, generates, within the scope of literature, new lines in the representations of the already existing social subjects (the peronist militancy) and in others who emerge clearly profiled (the missing and the Falklands ex-soldiers). The analyzed texts –Cadaveres (1997) by Nestor Perlongher, Villa (1995), Ni muerto has perdido tu nombre (2002), by Luis Gusman; Los pichiciegos (1999) and the dramatic poem “El antes de los monstruito. Acto para voces representadas” (1998), included in Lo dado (2001), by Fogwill– exhibit representations of distinct social actors of the time in a foreground and polemize with certain senses built up around them in the symbolic order.
