| Sumario: | Ulrich Brand and Markus Wissen point out that from the colonization process of the 16th century, a model of productivity is imposed, which defines an “imperial way of life”, within the framework of capitalist hoarding of land and resources. This presentation analyzes different works that’s address the problem of desertification in the region of Guanacache (Cuyo, Argentina), a space that in the 16th and 19th centuries was an andean path between the cities of Mendoza, San Juan and San Luis. The advance of the desert, the drought and the famine on this once natural aquifer system where exiled indigenous communities survived, is the great articulating theme of Mercedes Araujo’s novel, The daughter of the goat (2021). Also, this text analyzes its formal construction and the way in which it is related to the fictions of Antonio Di Benedetto and Juan Draghi Lucero, and with the series “Vestigios Huarpes” of the painter Fidel Roig Matóns. |
