Resumo: In the orbit of postmemory, inheriting the experience of the elders is a topic revisited over and over by contemporary Argentine writers. This article focuses on the analysis of four works of recent Argentine literature that recover the stories of ancestors in the form of family memories, but also propose a reflection on the transmissibility of these memories and the burden that they place on a person. Based on the overlapping of family experiences during different genocidal processes, the texts postulate an erasure of geographical and temporal borders, which affects the presentation of the facts and which, based on this mechanism, persist in a present that melts with the past or the future. Between the persistence and overlapping of genocidal memories and trauma understood as inheritance, the analyzed productions seem to pursue an emancipatory goal, according to one of Walter Benjamin's famous theses on history.

Este trabajo se centra en el análisis de cuatro obras de la literatura argentina reciente que recuperan los relatos de los antepasados en forma de memoria familiar, pero que además proponen una reflexión acerca de la transmisibilidad de esas memorias y de la carga que supone. A partir de la superposición de experiencias familiares durante diferentes procesos genocidas, los textos postulan un borramiento de fronteras geográficas y temporales, que repercute en la presentación de los hechos y que, a partir de ese mecanismo, perduran en un presente sin solución de continuidad con el pasado ni con el futuro. Entre la persistencia y la superposición de las memorias genocidas y el trauma entendido como herencia, las producciones analizadas parecen perseguir un fin emancipatorio, de acuerdo a una de las famosas tesis sobre la historia de Walter Benjamin.UFRGS2023-12-14info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfhttps://seer.ufrgs.br/index.php/anos90/article/view/13000910.22456/1983-201X.130009Anos 90; Vol. 30 (2023); e2023303Anos 90; v. 30 (2023); e20233031983-201X0104-236Xreponame:Anos 90 (Online)instname:Universidade Federal do Rio Grande do Sul (UFRGS)instacron:UFRGS-30spahttps://seer.ufrgs.br/index.php/anos90/article/view/130009/90703Copyright (c) 2023 Anos 90info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessNiemetz, Diego Eduardo2024-01-29T01:37:56Zoai:seer.ufrgs.br:article/130009Revistahttps://seer.ufrgs.br/anos90PUBhttps://seer.ufrgs.br/anos90/oaianos90@ufrgs.br||1983-201X0104-236Xopendoar:2024-01-29T01:37:56Anos 90 (Online) - Universidade Federal do Rio Grande do Sul (UFRGS)false
