CARCANO, Enzo. IN THE SEARCH FOR LOST UNITY: ABOUT TWO ARGENTINIAN POETIC AUTOFICTIONS. perifrasis. rev.lit.teor.crit. [online]. 2016, vol.7, n.13, pp.40-54. ISSN 2145-8987.

The poetry of Juan Gelman and Olga Orozco coincide in one aspect: in spite of their different nature, they can both be read as a search for lost unity because of political violence in one case, or due to the fall of men in contingency, in the other. Two poems in which the name of the author appears (Gelman's "x" and Orozco's "Olga Orozco") embody that will for restoring -through poetic language- what is lost, and, at the same time, the failure of that endeavor. From the concept of autofiction, I will analyze how these poems stress the inner rupture of the lyric I.

Keywords : Gelman; Orozco; Argentinian poetry; autofiction; lost unity.
