Authorship SCIMAGO INSTITUTIONS RANKINGS

ABSTRACT:

The article proposes a dialogue between the chronicle reportEl Rastro de los Huesos(2008) by Leila Guerriero, and the non-fiction bookChicas Muertas(2014) by Selva Almada. It will consider the various moments featured in both texts regarding the struggle for memory and justice in the post-dictatorial context in Argentina. To this end, the practices and knowledge depicted in both texts are examined, as well as their links with 'narratives of education' (Bildungsroman), the role of what Jelín (2007) has calledfamilism, or its counterpart, the presence of theunheimlichin the domestic space, and the emergence of a genre diction that redefines the contours of human rights.

Keywords:
Chronicle and Argentine non-fiction literature; Post-dictatorial memories,. Leila Guerriero and Selva Almada
