    El hablar de sucesos que atentan contra la humanidad conlleva una responsabilidad y un compromiso al exponer las versiones que no circulan de manera oficial. Por ello, al mostrar un panorama de la situación político-social y literaria argentina del siglo XX, busco conectar autores, obras, y estrategias narrativas que usan la ficción como arma para contraatacar el discurso oficial; y, acto seguido, insertar al autor Ricardo Piglia y su poética, expresada en La ciudad ausente, dentro de la nueva tradición literaria, la cual coincide con el silenciamiento impuesto a raiz de la última dictadura militar.

    To talk about events that threaten humanity brings along a responsibility and a commitment to expose the versions that do not circulate in an official manner. Therefore, to show a picture of the Argentinean socio-political and literary situation of the XX century, it is sought to connect authors, literary works, and narrative strategies that employ the fiction as a weapon to counterattack the official discourse; and to insert the author Ricardo Piglia and his poetic, expressed in The Absent City, in the new literary tradition, which coincides with the mute imposed as a result of the last military dictatorship.
