Sujetos culturales en disputa en <em>Manèges</em> / <em>La casa de los conejos</em> de Laura Alcoba

Abstract

The article analyzes the autofictional novel of Laura Alcoba (2007) through the concepts of cultural subject and ideologeme. It looks at the copre- sence of two cultural subjects: 1) the generation of the parents, participants of the armed organization Montoneros, and 2) the children, who were affected by the militancy of the parents. The novel is legible thus as an attempt to confront the past marked by a language and an ideology that were assumed as “natural”, but disappeared due to the repression of the military dictatorship – and to find a language to express both this disapparition and a subjectivity of her own.
