Resumen
Entre 1988 y 1991, Martín Caparrós dirigió Babel, una de las revistas más importantes del campo literario argentino de post-dictadura. El grupo de autores nucleados en torno a esta publicación –Alan Pauls, Daniel Guebel y el propio Caparrós, entre otros– propuso una nueva lectura del canon literario nacional, así como una serie de poéticas que, opuestas al realismo social y al Boom latinoamericano, buscaban renovar el panorama con narrativas exóticas, metaliterarias y experimentales que, en su momento, fueron leídas como obras despolitizadas. En este trabajo realizamos un estudio de la primera novela de Martín Caparrós, No velas a tus muertos (1986), una de las primeras ficciones escritas en Argentina en torno a la militancia juvenil durante los años setenta. La particularidad de esta novela consiste en ser la única del grupo que aborda la cuestión evadida por los babélicos: la política y la historia reciente. A partir de un estudio del campo literario del momento, así como del diálogo intratextual con otras obras del autor, analizaremos las implicancias de ciertas categorías que entran en juego en un texto donde están en tensión las disyuntivas entre realismo y anti-realismo, literatura política y vanguardia experimental, testimonio militante y parodia conservadora.

The group of authors gathered around this monthly journal –Alan Pauls, Daniel Guebel and Caparrós himself– proposed a new reading of the national literary canon, as well as a set of poetics that –oposed to social realism and Latinamerican Boom– were looking for a renovation of the panorama with exotic, metaliterary and experimental narratives, read at that time as depoliticized works. In this paper we propose a study of Martín Caparrós’ first novel, Don’t mourn your dead (No velas a tus muertos, 1986), one of the first fictions written in Argentina concerning youth political militancy during the ‘70s. The peculiarity of this novel is to be the only one in the group that addresses the issue evaded by the babélicos: politics and recent history. Through a study of the literary field of that moment, as well as the intertextual dialogue with other Caparrós’ works, we will analyze the implications of certain categories that come into play in a text where the disjunctive between realism and anti-realism are in tension, as much as the antithetical pairs of political literature and experimental avant-garde, militant testimony and conservative parody.
