Figures of Violence in Argentine Contemporary Narrative

Main Article Content

María Stegmayer

Abstract

The article proposes to examine and analyze a series of figures to violence in a narrative corpus of literary fiction-novels and stories published in Argentina between 1995 and 2005, in the timing of passage that can be named as an end or change centuries-making focus on the link between violence and everyday life under neoliberalism. It seeks so to size, from a symptomatic reading of these selected narratives, productive logics of power and violence in ostensibly non-use of force domains, in situations in which they insinuate themselves as potential latency or punishment: violence in market, speech and technology are some of those privileged places of exercise and playing the imperatives of neoliberal ideology both in its objective dimension and all its subjective consequences.
