| Abstract | |
This paper is on a critical reading of the novel La casa de los Conejos, by Laura Alcoba, published in 2006 under the title of Manèges: petite histoire argentine and translated to Spanish by Leopoldo Brizuela in 2008. The analysis in question is skewed by distinct thematic overflows and discursive strategies explored in Alcobas novel, such as: historic element, since the backdrop that sustains the work is the last Argentinean military dictatorship, which took place in the 70s; violence, which is a recurrent theme in Alcobas narrative style; the gender problem, a central feature of vital concernment on discussions about Hispano-American literature in the contemporary world and, mostly, the fictionalization of childs voice, or the innocence, since the plot is on the narrative perspective of an niña, daughter of Montoneros militants, a movement in opposition to the military dictatorship. Furthermore, from a theoretical perspective, it concerns us to reflect about the concepts of trauma and witness, bearing in mind that this paper is also on the need to explore the place which Laura Alcoba took over to tell the shreds of her Argentinean childhood and the experiences as a survivor that were established with the blank spaces, displacements and oblivion, from her own memory.
