NOFAL, Rossana. Entre el rojo y el negro: derrotas y victorias de la literatura testimonial en Argentina. Estud. - Cent. Estud. Av., Univ. Nac. Córdoba [online]. 2009, n.21, pp.131-143. ISSN 1852-1568.

The main feature in these testimonial stories is the hegemonic presence of a subject in the first person singular haunted by two highly strung contradictions: the will to reconstruct a traumatic experience and the will to forget it. While the testimonies published in Argentina from 1983 and until around the 1990s began with enquiries into the identity of the victims as missing subjects during the military years, the testimonies appeared after the collection La voluntad de Anguita y Caparrós throw light on the survivors as activists. This shift brings along another topic for the discussion of the testimonial genre: the presence of the subjects and their defeats
