Both the story “Gracias, Charly”, included in El nervio óptico, and La estirpe address conflicts dating back to the 19th century and a specific zone where their family history intersects with that of the country, as in both cases the echoes of the war and the conquest of the Gran Chaco haunt their n...

From the margins of reality, Gainza and Maliandi return to the past to dismantle it and thus question the image of a civilized and virile nation built on the foundation of violence and plunder.

Tanto el relato “Gracias, Charly”, incluido en El nervio óptico (Gainza), como La estirpe (Maliandi) abordan conflictos que se remontan al siglo XIX y a una zona específica donde el pasado familiar se entrecruza con la historia de la patria, ya que en ambos casos los ecos de la guerra y la conquista del Gran Chaco asedian a sus narradoras en un presente urbano y contemporáneo. Desde los márgenes de lo real, Gainza y Maliandi vuelven al pasado para desmontarlo y cuestionar, así, la imagen de una nación civilizada y viril construida sobre la base de la violencia y la expoliación. Esta perspectiva solo puede ser encarnada por aquellas que traicionan el propio linaje. Es decir, por quienes conocen la intimidad de la historia familiar y, en lugar de reproducirla, optan por conjurarla desde la literatura.
