| Résumé anglais |
In this article we want to carry out a reading of Vacas, a novel by the Entre Ríos´ author Belén Sigot published in 2018. The novel begins with a powerful image of dead cows that don't decompose. Set in a community of immigrants from Entre Ríos, the novel shows the scene of a town made of whispers, selfishness, and mistrust, revealing its most sordid face. In the passage that goes from « the land of one's own » to « small town / big hell » , a particular form of terror is installed that does not appeal to fantastic elements as its main source, but to the dissemination of an ominous and unbreathable climate. In this sense, we are interested in delving into the modulations of neo-gothic terror linked to the rural, which inscribes Vacas in the panorama of current argentine narrative, participating in this way in a series of productions that make a renewed treatment of the topics of literature and rurality.
