This article reflects upon literature from a sociological viewpoint through the study of the early trajectory of the writer César Aira. In stark contrast with the recognition Aira will gain in the late 1990s and early 21st Century, in the 1970s Aira first tries to publish his books with no success. Answering the question on how the value of this literary work changes throughout the years, I challenge the opposition between internal and external analysis of literary works to focus on the mediations between the text and the context. Framed in the sociological theory of Pierre Bourdieu, this article draws on in-depth interviews, scholarly literature, and archives to explore the zones of the field where Aira is positioned in the 1970s. I will argue Aira enjoys strong relationships with other writers and critics in the peripheries of the literary field but, notwithstanding this social capital, the conditions to enable the position he will occupy have yet to be developed. El presente artículo propone realizar una reflexión sociológica sobre un objeto literario mediante el estudio de la trayectoria temprana del escritor César Aira. En claro contraste con el reconocimiento que recibirá a fines de los años noventa y comienzos del siglo XXI, en los años setenta es cuando Aira intenta publicar sus primeros libros sin nada de éxito. Para responder al interrogante sobre cómo la valoración de esta obra se modifica a lo largo del tiempo, problematizo la oposición binaria entre el análisis interno y externo de la literatura para centrarme en las mediaciones entre el texto y el contexto. Enmarcada en la teoría sociológica de Pierre Bourdieu, recurro a entrevistas en profundidad, revisión bibliográfica y trabajo de archivo para indagar en los circuitos que transita Aira en los años setenta. Propongo que posee una sociabilidad rica en estos años en zonas periféricas del campo y que, a pesar de este capital social, su propuesta todavía no encuentra las condiciones de posibilidad que habilitan una posición como la que ocupará.
