| Sumario: | Ganarse la muerte, by Griselda Gambaro, written in the years leading up to the coup, was published in 1976. Shortly after, Lieutenant Colonel Jorge Méndez of the Secretariat of State Intelligence wrote a report that led to the novel’s prohibition by decree of the military junta in April 1977. The novel opens up multiple lines of debate, such as political, social and gender violence; the relationship between history, memory and fiction; and the projections of meaning of a certain aesthetic of ambiguity, notorious in this literary text. This article focuses on the dialogue between historiographical interpretations of the causes that led to this dark period of Argentina’s recent history and Gambaro’s novel. Specifically, it examines the representation of power relations and their impact on the interpretation of the violent events evoked in the text. |
