Economí­as literarias en algunas ficciones argentinas del 2000 [Casas, Incardona, Cucurto y Mariano Llinás]

Abstract

In the context of discussions around "value" in times of post-autonomy, there appears a map articulating the diverse ways in which the narrative texts of poets Fabián Casas, Washington Cucurto and Juan Diego Incardona re-invent the populist imaginary [neighbourhood nostalgia displaced to the representational void of Zen experience; ideological and political reintegration of the collective subject; revolutionary discourse in the guise of farce and banality] while at the same time defining from such inflections three fictional economies corresponding to three positions with respect to work as one of the cores of new capitalism culture: leisure, craftsmanship and overproduction. The film Historias Extraordinarias by Mariano Llinás constitutes another version of the craftwork model and, with its particular economy, a narrative event in present Argentine fiction
