| Résumé anglais |
In this paper the representation of the bodie is analyzed, more precisely the symbolism of the teeth and their articulation of power relations, in the nouvelle entitled La balada de Johnny Sosa (1987) written by the Uruguayan author, Mario Delgado Aparaín. On both banks of Río de La Plata, a temporary court occures in Uruguay and Argentina and acts as a hinge for literary productions of the Southern Cone: dictatorship/postdictatorship. This is a review of the Master´s thesis where the author organized two chapters –Exiles and Bodies- whose purpose is to read and stress the never simple or direct relationships between cultures and their productions. We can postulate there is a connection with the violence and power representation focused on the figure of authoritarian government and the presence of teeth as metonymic element of the oppressed body, and exile as one of the possible outputs of terror. We can think about the uses of language –or silence like another option- as a discursive strategy that promotes powers and resistances. We can also think about the tension between memory/omission which is selective and organize the rootlessness representations that history has been legitimized.
