Abstract

RENOVILLE, Carolina. Colonizing space, inhabiting a place. Landscape and identity fictions in Fuegia (1991) by E. Belgrano Rawson. Hist. Caribe [online]. 2015, vol.10, n.27, pp.177-198. ISSN 0122-8803.  https://doi.org/10.15648/hc.27.2015.6.

Fuegia by E. Belgrano Rawson constitutes a fictional recreation of the subjugation and genocide of the indigenous peoples from Tierra del Fuego, by means of some positivist poetic's own resources and strategies, whose update leads paradoxically to undermine the ontological assumptions on which the nineteenth-century realistic literature rested. The novel thus subverts the formal parameters of the story's configuration that influenced the formation of a social memory and a community identity in Argentina.

Keywords : Conquest; memory; Argentine literature; realism.
