Resumen

LOJO, María Rosa. María Rosa Oliver (1898-1977) y Victoria Ocampo (1890-1979): Dos maneras de narrar el Yo. Mora (B. Aires) [online]. 2017, vol.23, n.2, pp.42-53. ISSN 1853-001X.

María Rosa Oliver and Victoria Ocampo, offsprings of the Argentine traditional upper class, build up their respective autobiographical subjects on several issues diversely focused : the unity and the scattering of memory, the questioning and the unending reinterpretation of Self; their relationship with their own genealogies and with certain gender-related commands: beauty and fertility. Two "anomalies" mark María Rosa Oliver's life respecting Ocampo's: her father, an outsider to the restricted local "aristocratic" circle, and the polio, her invalidating childhood disease. Both writers establish ruptures and torsions in the lineage topic. Ocampo, selfrepresented as the last link in a long chain of founding fathers and nation builders, stops defining herself just as a daughter and heiress, but claims for the recognition owed to an intellectual mother. The mother of an "ungrateful" and care-demanding country, comparable to a growing child. Oliver exhibits the weak and ridiculous sides of her gentry genealogy, rescues the bastard branches within her own family, and views herself as a fraternal member of regular humanity. Even, from a feminine perspective, she beholds her mother with protective tenderness, as if she -the mother--, were her own daughter, damaged by the old and needless repressive parenting. The splendor of Beauty, as a fascinating and also deceiving divine form (Ocampo), or as a human inner light (Oliver), will be contemplated and incarnated by both in different ways, but without binding them to the reproductive biological chain. In these firstborn daughters, creativity and feminine subjectivity will mix in a completely new style regarding all their female ancestors.

Palabras clave : Oliver; Ocampo; Self; Memory; Lineage.
