Abstract

Aparecida (2015), by Marta Dillon, narrates the circumstances in which her disappeared mother reappeared, when the author was ten years old. The story begins the day she receives the news, paradoxically, through a missed call, that her mother’s body was found buried. In these lines, an approach to the narration is made from the perspective of the autobiographical space, in where the personal and the public, the biography and the recent Argentine history are found. The proposal is to analyze the metaphorical relationship between the social body and the individual body, understanding the concept of writing as a reparative activity that allows the recovery of the missing mother.
