Perón con Derrida

El problema de la soberanía en El fiord de Osvaldo Lamborghini

Abstract

Abstract: Osvaldo Lamborghini's first work, El fiord, published in 1969, has been extensively read by critics. The readings are divided between the illegibility (the avant-garde character of the text) and the excess of clarity (the political allegory). Between the self-referential key (the myth of the origin of the work) and the allegorical key (the figures of Perón and of Evita, the nationalist left of the sixties), the psychoanalytic hermeneutics works as a mediator: literature, politics and eroticism constitute a triad that divides the text and fragments the reading.
Our conjecture is that the allegorical mode cannot be separated of the avant-garde program. In this sense, the allegory would not be limited to referring to the conjuncture of which the text is contemporary, but rather would process a reflection on a series of stereotypes about Peronism as the decisive experience of an era.
