Mourning and memory. The Dock, by Matilde Sanchez

Main Article Content

Nancy Fernández

Abstract

In this article I try to analyze the textuality of El Dock, by the argentinian author Matilde Sanchez, where memory and oblivion trace the fragments and remains of a subjetivity. In this case, the first person narration tells of a friendship between two women, which has been interrupted. It is a question, after several years, of restoring those survivals where the motives of a private nature intersect with the history and politics of the country, in a determined context. And it seeks to read the figure of an experience that the narrator registers and recovers to return to the friend form an absence and a silence that seemed unappealable.
