(Literary writings of the memoir of Catamarca)

Abstract

The aim of this article is to investigate the literary writings of the memoir of Catamarca in order to contrast the representations that emerge from the corpus’ texts with the legitimate version of the facts provided by the hegemonic discourse of the last Argentinian military dictatorship (1976-1983).
We joined the perspective that literature is a social discourse and, consequently, it accounts for the debates, migrations and changes in meaning that going around in a society. We also assume the Ricourian conception of individual and collective memoirs, in which language is the latter most elemental framework, in order to regain a real event lived in a common past.
The understanding of the corpus begin by from the tracking of a repertoire of topics similar to that proposed by J. Corbatta (2010:157-158) to analyze the particular way in which each unit produces meaning in its textualization since the logics created are supported by the mediation between historical consciousness and affective appropriation and the structures of feeling that are built from the Military Process in this portion of the country.
