Sumario:This work analyzes a movement in contemporary Argentine literature: the approach of realism and fantasy based on certain renewal of their modes and contents. Central aspects of these generic transformations are a broader consideration of the real, in the case of realism, and the estrangement or abandonment of the necessarily supernatural component in the case of the fantastic. Based on this evidence, this paper examines and recovers the operativeness of Jacques Derrida’s theory in “The Law of Genre” about “participation without belonging”. That is, the possibility that texts participate in genres without exclusively belonging to any of them, a theoretical option that results in a broader framework and, therefore, more appropriate for thinking about current literary modes.
