About
Matías Larramendi is interested in the Southern Cone cultural production, the relationship between literature and the state and the subsequent mechanisms of subjectivation, violence, representation of the body, and sexuality that arose after the dictatorship and the dawn of neoliberalism. More precisely, he focuses on the neo-baroque writers such as Osvaldo Lamborghini, Néstor Perlongher, Tamara Kamenszain, Marosa di Giorgio, Eduardo Espina and Roberto Echavarren, among others. Within this intersection of authors, he looks to explore how the havoc wreaked by globalization in the sovereign state is represented in literature, which resort to excess and neo-baroque deformity in order to portray this political transformation.
