LOPEZ, Irene. Identity and Coloniality in Alberto Alabí's Short Stories. perifrasis. rev.lit.teor.crit. [online]. 2011, vol.2, n.3, pp.86-98. ISSN 2145-8987.

In this paper we propose an analysis of short stories of an argentinean writter, Alberto Alabí, from the notion of coloniality of power, of knowledge and being and its implications for identity formations. We believe that the conflicts textualized in these short stories permit us to understand many of social problems in the north of Argentina, such as the role played by the racialization of difference and, consequently, the color of skin in the subalternization of subjects and practices as well as in construction of identity representations.

Palavras-chave : Argentinean literature; identity; coloniality; power; representations.
