Recuento y fórmula: Anclajes de la memoria en un devenir de veinticinco años

Abstract

Memory and testimony studies renew classic debates that confront established theses on the violence of the 20th century. In this framework, I read the critical itinerary of Anclajes as it expands the literary canon from a corpus cut out by the memoirs in conflict in the Southern Cone. I argue that memoirs are not involved as a remnant of anecdotes of a defeat, but that they emerged in the very center of literary production as a divergent corpus that illuminates a new point of conflict in the colonial dispute over language, writing and territory.
