Résumé anglais Fiction occupies a privileged position in the task of building a memory. Argentine narrative written during or after the military dictatorship, proofs that horror and violence are not inexpressible, matter argued about the Shoá. Some women writers had told from the gender's subjectivity point of view a version about dictatorship. The ones who wrote during the 70's - Noemí Ulla, Angélica Gorodischer, Luisa Valenzuela and Griselda Gambaro - suffered censorship and prohibition, had to hide their writings or went to exile. Their femenine characters are victims of sexual violence, and their bodies suffered tortures, violations and sadistic treatments. We might say that these characters may be homologated with the Agambens' « homo sacer », « femina sacer » we may say, and with the « mussulman » of Auschwitz's concentration camp. Detention places are « exception » places where the victims sink in abjection. Obsessions, amnesia, loss of language, tortures and death - sometimes salvation - aren't expressed on these fiction writings with realism but with simbolic representations. The mentioned women writers use individual and colective memory in order to ask, criticize, remember, denounce and interpret state terrorism in order to avoid repetition. We hope these sexual abuses can be treated by justice as crimes aganist humanity.
