| Sumario: | This paper deals with the study of the representations that circulated in the field of Argentinian leftist literature about the unemployed, in the context of the crisis of 1930. For that I examine the characteristics of different texts, mostly unknown. During the previous decade, various writers linked to the group of Boedo produced texts that pointed to boost political and social consciousness. The characters-victims of many of these stories appear more as objects than as subjects of social transformation. Is this reproduced– and how–
literary compositions of the subsequent years that take the unemplo yed as the central figure? Which elements characterize the figure of the unemployed? The article aims to answer these questions,
taking into account the relationship of those elements with the representations raised by the working
class tendencies of the time. |
