A series of literary practices that began to emerge in Brazilian and Argentine culture in the 1980s point to an explosion of subjectivity and a strongly marked return to the body and to experience, in ways that were undoubtedly different and contradictory,but which all posed a problematic relation between the notion of the work as closed and autonomous construct and an exterior ? let?s call it ?the real?, or experience, oreven in some cases history. In all these experiments we can read a strong challenge to the category of the work as an autonomous form distanced from the real, to be replaced by an idea of the work as an archive of the exterior whose remains do not cast light but are the tenuous emanations of an equivocal luminosity.
