Un avatar de las literaturas posautónomas. El caso Luz Marus

Abstract

In the first section of this paper the assumptions on which Josefina Ludmer's concept of “post-autonomous literatures" is based, are reviewed from the perspective that identifies literature as an "original experience" according to Maurice Blanchot’s theoretical developments. In the context of this review, we mainly discuss the demand for giving up the notions of "author" and "work", and for sidestepping the problem of "literary value", since they are considered to be methodological decisions that limit the affirmation of the power of literature to challenge established values ​​and invent unprecedented imaginaries. In the second section, we examine the possibilities of critique offered by the concept of “post-autonomous literatures", reducing its scope to a moral of the narrative form in the context of "subjective turn" that identifies a large area of ​​the contemporary culture by reading Luz Marus' first novel, La amante de Stalin. The critical exercise focuses on the textual and paratextual effects of the commitment to the principles of "reality-fiction" and "intimate-public" underpin in novel writing and in the author's figurations as a character in literary circles.
