2) I am currently studying the narrative of the young generation of Argentine writers. The literary field in Argentina is changing rapidly under the democratic and economic orders that replaced the last dictatorship (1976-1983). Readers and writers are taking different positions within a social order based upon market rules and virtual realities. My research objective is to explore the socio-cultural forces that determine these new positions. My investigation will follow five stages and conclude in a book. I will focus on authors born around the 1960s and first published in the 1990s. I will draw relevant comparisons with the conditions of literary production during other influential decades of the past century in order to situate the new writers and their works as epigones of the literary tradition and evolution. Once the positions of the new authors are established, I will analyze their novels and short stories, paying particular attention to the kind of readership such works are assuming and promoting. The book will aim to establish a paradigmatic case study for the exploration of literary and cultural patterns in other Latin American countries that share similar political, socil and economic transformations with Argentina.
