Description:
|
Reads between the lines of Argentine cultural texts (fiction, drama, testimonial narrative, telenovela, documentary film) to explore the fundamental role of silence - the unsaid - in the expression of trauma. Nancy J. Gates-Madsen’s careful examination of the interplay between textual and contextual silences illuminates public debate about the meaning of memory in Argentina.
