Representaciones de lo indígena en la literatura contemporánea argentina

Abstract

In recent decades, the Argentine novel has reconfigured the representation of indigenous people, and in particular that of those who suffered, in the southern territories of America, the destruction of their culture between the 19th and 20th centuries. Our purpose is to observe how, in El entenado (1983) by Juan José Saer, La tierra del fuego (1998) by Sylvia Iparraguirre and La extinción de las especies (2017) by Diego Vecchio, the image of the indigenous ‘other’ becomes part, in universal terms, of the same, through a process that contradicts the national historical account.
