Though memory may be most often used term within the historic context of Argentina, it is oblivion which dominates finally the public discourse of recent years. What are the different forms of “ remembering ” the painful past in an environment that attempts to silence memory by transforming it into a fetish-object ? In which way the urban space —the city with its multiple open and closed places— conserves a memory of the tragedy and horror ? And, how this space is represented within the narrative text ? This work analyzes the problematic of the globalized city, its post-trauma and oblivion by studying Horacio Vázquez-Rial's novel, La capital del olvido (“ City of Oblivion ”, 2004). Additionally, it offers to analyze the effects of globalization and privatization processes that swept Buenos Aires during the decade of the nineties, in order to explore the diversity of public and private expressions of a culture of shame and guilt that refuses to remember its past.
