Mauro I Greco
Mauro Greco works as an Investigador Asistente (Lecturer, Maitre de Conférences) at the National Scientific and Technical Research Council (CONICET, Argentina). He holds a PhD in Social Sciences from the University of Buenos Aires (UBA, 2016) and a MA in Media Studies and a Teaching Training in Higher and Secondary Education in Media Studies (2010 and 2009, respectively) at the same institution. He has worked as a Visiting Fellow at the Centre sur les arts et le langage de l’Ecole des hautes études en sciences sociales (2016-2017), and as a Postdoctoral Research Fellow at the University of Edinburgh, in the context of the European Research Council-funded project “Illuminating the Grey Zone: Addressing Complex Complexity to Human Rights Violations” (2018-2020).
He has taught both undergraduate and postgraduate courses at the UBA, the National University of La Pampa (UNLPam), the National University of Quilmes (UNQ) and the National University of the Central Buenos Aires (UNICEN). He obtained PhD and Postdoctoral funding from CONICET between 2010 and 2018. His main research interest hinges around the social involvement in radical events of the recent past (the last Argentine dictatorship, Latin-American dictatorships, Nazism, etc.), and memory and aesthetics as socio-cultural phenomena. In his PhD dissertation, subsequently published as a book (Responsabilidades y resistencias: memorias de vecinos de la dictadura, 2019, EDUVIM), he analysed literary and cinematographic depictions and articulated them with fieldwork in the neighborhood of a former clandestine detention centre located in Santa Rosa-La Pampa, 600 km away from Buenos Aires city.
Currently, he is pursuing a twofold and interrelated research line: first, he is focusing on the Global North’s media coverage of Argentina football star Diego Armando Maradona’s death. His working hypothesis is that, in the afore-mentioned media reception, one can identify the persistent European "racial gaze" regarding people coming from the "third world". Second, he is also working on the interrelations between current feminist Latin-American women's writing (Cabezón Cámara, Mariana Enriquez, etc) and one discrete feminist strand in particular: the rape-prevention feminist, or feminism of self-defence. Mauro seeks to systematise how violence (of us, men, towards women) has been elaborated in the dialogue between literary and theoretical works, building on from the momentum that Latin-American feminism is living since 2016.

Key words: orality, writing, silence, Le dernier livre.
El presente artículo propone una primera cartografía de la literatura de Santiago Amigorena con el objetivo de sentar las bases para una comprensión de su proyecto literario en su conjunto. Para ello, comenzamos presentando las problemáticas de fondo que condujeron al autor a lanzarse a la escritura de la inmensa auto-bio-enciclopedia que es Le dernier livre. Posteriormente, ofrecemos una propuesta de clasificación de su literatura poniéndola en relación con otros autores y corrientes literarias que comparten preocupaciones y estrategias estilísticas afines. Finalmente, se realiza una lectura en clave derrideana de la relación que Amigo-rena establece entre escritura, silencio y palabra, tomando como casos de análisis Une enfance laconique (1998) y Le ghetto intérieur (2019).
Palabras clave: oralidad, escritura, silencio, Le dernier livre.
L’objectif de cet article est de proposer une première cartographie de la littérature de Santiago Amigorena afin de fournir les bases d’une compréhension de l’ensemble de son projet scripturaire. Il s’agit dans un premier temps de dresser un aperçu des problèmes qui ont poussé l’auteur à se lancer dans l’écriture et entreprendre l’énorme projet auto-bio-encyclopédique qu’est Le dernier livre, puis de sortir sa littérature de la particularité en la reliant à d’autres mouvements littéraires, ainsi que de clarifier théoriquement les concepts qu’il utilise dans ses œuvres. Enfin, nous proposons une lecture en clé derridienne du rapport particulier qu’Ami-gorena construit entre l’écriture, le silence et la parole, et nous prenons comme cas d’analyse particuliers deux de ses ouvrages où ce rapport tient un rôle prépondérant : Une enfance laco-nique (1998) et Le ghetto intérieur (2019).
Mots clés : oralité, écriture, silence,Le dernier livre.
