«Horizonte de fragmentos»: Space and Identity in Bariloche of Andrés Neuman
Abstract
The Hispano-American Narrative of the nineties inaugurates a new paradigm in which the notion of homeland is exceded as the space determining the identity and as the unique place for the writer to write from. The writers born from the sixties on, built up their fiction from global logic, negating their belonging to the only cultural tradition. This essay analyses how Andrés Neuman, an Hispano-Argentinian writer, elaborates in his first novel Bariloche –as in his whole own narrative– a spatiality which is a reflection of the way contemporaneity dynamics affect individual identity.
