Contar desde el borde: literatura argentina y peronismo en Jorge Asís

Abstract

This paper inquires into the place of Asis in the history of Argentine literature, from the study of how the Nation or what is national is narrated. We use the concept of legality, cannon and plot, focusing on the theory and the judgment of the critiques of the relationship between Argentine literature and Peronism. From that perspective, we go on to analyze a corpus of texts written between 1945 and 1973, divided in two blocks that trace the itinerary of authors and works most frequently studied to approach the relationship between Argentine literature and Peronism.
