Abstract

Traumatic episodes of the recent dictatorial past have had a central space in Argentine literature. Selva Almada’s Chicas muertas initiates a dialogue with literary works that address dictatorship in two levels: first, Almada points to the invisibility of the crimes against women under the return to democracy in 1982; Then, Chicas muertas returns to Theodor Adorno’s question on how to narrate extreme violence, and by doing so engages with discussions on forms of narrating the recent past. This article explores how Almada’s text works with the new forms of the memory of femicides which emerged in the literary field in the context of a profound social awareness on that issue.
