This volume examines the blending of fact and fiction in a series
of cultural artefacts by post-dictatorship writers and artists in
Argentina, many of them children of disappeared or persecuted
parents. Jordana Blejmar argues that these works, which emerged
after the turn of the millennium, pay testament to a new cultural
formation of memory characterised by the use of autofiction and
playful aesthetics. She focuses on a range of practitioners,
including Laura Alcoba, Lola Arias, Felix Bruzzone, Albertina
Carri, Maria Giuffra, Victoria Grigera Dupuy, Mariana Eva Perez,
Lucila Quieto, and Ernesto Seman, who look towards each other's
works across boundaries of genre and register as part of the way
they address the legacies of the 1976-1983 dictatorship.
Approaching these works not as second-hand or adoptive memories but
as memories in their own right, Blejmar invites us to recognise the
subversive power of self-figuration, play and humour when dealing
with trauma.
