ARAN, Pampa Olga. Literary Chronotopes as a Bakhtinian Concept. Its Relevance in Proposing an Investigation on Contemporary Argentine Narrative. Tóp. Sem [online]. 2009, n.21, pp.119-141. ISSN 2594-0619.

This essay fundamentally develops a minute description of the theoretical category that Bakhtin called literary chronotope which consists of a particular way in which literary practice shapes the perception of the dynamics of time in space starting from the concomitant enunciative positions of the narrator and the reader. In the Bakhtinian perspective, the different chronotopes would be nothing more than manifestations of the interpretation of identitary forms that cultures provide in accumulative processes in such a way that in them the modeling of the sociohistorical image of man, which is never homogenous, can be read. In its polyphonic registers, the literary works give an account of these tensions and contradictions and their motifs constitute the concrete representation of such abstractions. It has also been attempted to show the relevance of this category for incipient research concerning novels that deal with the process of the most recent military dictatorship in Argentina.
