The chronicle as cultural “descolección”. Museum scenes in Pedro Lemebel and María Moreno

Abstract

The paper addresses Pedro Lemebel´s chronicles entitled “El Museo de Lo Abarca” (2013) and “La muerte de Madonna” (1996), as well as María Moreno´s “Solía [Plaza Dorrego]” (2008) and “Siempre es difícil volver a casa”, establishing a constat interrelasionship with other chronicles of their respective writings. It´s observed the construction of what we´ll call a “escena de museo” predisposed to take on a critical operation in which the text “descolecciona” (García Canclini) the established means of collect, accumulate, use and show the culture. We give attention to certain narrative forms especially related to the idea of a museum scene.
