Gombrowicz in Contemporary Argentina: Readings of the Literal Group

Summary/Abstract: This article presents the way in which Witold Gombrowicz’s works were interpreted by the Argentine writers who edited the periodical Literal in the 1970s. Drawing on the ideas that dominated comparative literature at the time, they soon began to discuss the Polish writer’s ‘Argentinization’ as well as the main traits of his work. Besides Literal, these reflections also appeared in the novel Cancha rayada by Germán García. This approach does not rely on the aesthetics of the ‘novel as testimony,’ which were popular at the time. Instead, it accentuates the text rather than the writer (departing from the key paradigm of the day) and builds on Lacanian psychoanalysis.
