Piglia: literature and history (Some notes on Respiración artificial)

In the first page –that starts with the question: “Is there a story?”– two significant time marks appear: 1976 and 1941. Right there, the cyphered bond between the Nazi genocide and the beginning of the most criminal dictatorship in Argentine history appears. The reflective level in the treatment of philosophical problems, historical or of literary theory, may imply the supremacy of the essay, but the intensity of the story about the imaginary meeting between Kafka and Hitler dominates conceptual developments. It is fiction that engulfs the essay –strengthening it at the same time–, and broadens its conversational partners in a moment when that and other discourses were censored.  Hacia 1980, Ricardo Piglia publica un libro emblemático: Respiración artificial. En la primera página –que se inicia con la pregunta: “¿Hay una historia?”– aparecen dos marcas temporales significativas: 1976 y 1941. Ahí ya se encuentra cifrado el vínculo entre el genocidio nazi y el inicio de la dictadura más criminal de la historia argentina. El nivel reflexivo en el tratamiento de problemas filosóficos, históricos o de la teoría literaria podría hacer pensar en una preeminencia ensayística, pero la intensidad del relato acerca del imaginario encuentro entre Kafka y Hitler se apropia de los desarrollos conceptuales. Es la ficción la que fagocita al ensayo –al tiempo que lo potencia–, ampliando sus interlocutores en un momento en que ese y otros discursos estaban censurados.  application/pdf https://revistascientificas.filo.uba.ar/index.php/zama/article/view/5400 10.34096/zama.a10.n10.5400 spa Instituto de Literatura Hispanoamericana (Facultad de Filosofía y Letras, Universidad de Buenos Aires) https://revistascientificas.filo.uba.ar/index.php/zama/article/view/5400/4839 Zama; Vol. 10 No. 10 (2018); 135-141 Zama; Vol. 10 Núm. 10 (2018); 135-141 Zama; v. 10 n. 10 (2018); 135-141 2422-6017 1851-6866 ficción historia genocidio Ricardo Piglia fiction history genocide Ricardo Piglia Piglia: literature and history (Some notes on Respiración artificial) Piglia: literatura e historia (Algunas notas sobre Respiración artificial) info:eu-repo/semantics/article info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion https://repositoriouba.sisbi.uba.ar/gsdl/cgi-bin/library.cgi?a=d&c=zama&d=5400_oai
