"Israel": An Abstract Concept Or Concrete Reality In Recent Judeo-Argentinean Narrative?, Amalia Ran
Spanish Language and Literature
The re-democratization process in Argentina, beginning at the end of 1983, emphasized a tendency that had emerged within the Judeo-Argentinean fiction (and Argentinean narrative in general) to contemplate on the collective and personal memory, while creating a type of dialogue with the general historic context of the twentieth century.
