Vivir sin Estado. La vida cotidiana en la Argentina post-2001 según Gabriela Massuh
Living without the state. Everyday life in post-2001 Argentina according to Gabriela Massuh

Summary/Abstract: This study deals with everyday life in Gabriela Massuh’s La intemperie in the context of post-2001 Argen-tina. The rupture of everyday life produced by this circumstance allows us to observe the mechanisms ofdehumanisation and exclusion that capitalist Modernity (understood as biopower) uses for its systematic“purge” of the political community of what it considers to be “surplus”. In these terms, the disintegration ofthe self that the narrator suffers will trace the first line of the study. The second will examine the functionsof the everyday in this work, as the factor of agency, denunciation and subversion in the processes of there-establishment of everyday routines. Both strands constantly converge with the role of mediation and artin the invention of the everyday and the elaboration of counter-hegemonic discourse.
