| Summary: | One of the strategies for fixing a collective memory in fiction seems to be the configuration of a child’s point of view. A series of novels written by the newest generation of storytellers in Argentina appeals to this device. The texts that we are going to discuss are Laura Alcoba’s The Rabbit House (2008), Paula Bombara’s El mar y la serpiente (2005) and Cristina Feijoo’s La casa operativa (2007). They produce a deviation from the canonized versions of recent history. The house, the city, the beach, are the parameters from which these subjectivities try to construct some meaning from their experiences. The children of these fictions embody a new kind of subjectivity marked by nomadism and homelessness. One of the threads of this analysis will be the way in which current narratives redefine these spaces in order to reflect the social changes that took place in recent decades. |
