PLAYFUL MEMORIES - JORDANA BLEJMAR GEBUNDEN

This volume examines the blending of fact and fiction in a series of cultural artefacts by
post-dictatorship writers and artists in Argentina  many of them children of disappeared or
persecuted parents. Jordana Blejmar argues that these works  which emerged after the turn of
the millennium  pay testament to a new cultural formation of memory characterised by the use of
autofiction and playful aesthetics. She focuses on a range of practitioners  including Laura
Alcoba  Lola Arias  Félix Bruzzone  Albertina Carri  María Giuffra  Victoria Grigera Dupuy 
Mariana Eva Perez  Lucila Quieto  and Ernesto Semán  who look towards each other's works across
boundaries of genre and register as part of the way they address the legacies of the 1976-1983
dictatorship. Approaching these works not as second-hand or adoptive memories but as memories
in their own right  Blejmar invites us to recognise the subversive power of self-figuration 
play and humour when dealing with trauma.
