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. Ganarse la muerte, de Griselda Gambaro, escrita durante los años previos al golpe, fue publicada en 1976. Poco después, el Teniente Coronel Jorge Méndez de la Secretaría de Inteligencia del Estado redacta un informe por el que, en abril del año siguiente, fuera prohibida por decreto de la junta militar. La novela abre muchos frentes de debate, tales como la violencia política, social y de género; la relación entre la historia, la memoria y la ficción; y las proyecciones de sentido de una cierta estética de la ambigüedad, notoria en este texto literario, entre otras, pero en esta oportunidad me centraré en el diálogo entre algunas interpretaciones historiográficas sobre las causas que nos llevaron a este periodo oscuro de nuestra historia reciente y la novela de Gambaro. En especial, me interesa explorar las aproximaciones a las relaciones de poder y su incidencia en la interpretación de los hechos violentos que se convocan. Universidad Nacional del Nordeste.
