| Summary: | This paper analyses En el corazón de junio (1983), by Luis Gusmán to explore his literary procedures to figure state violence. The book is published in the last year of the argentinian last military dictatorship (1976-1983), so Gusmán tries to do an hermetic prose to avoid censorship but capable to symbolize the violence over the words and the bodies. The narration of violence appears in the novel through paired figures: the obliterated and the expressed, the inscription and the erasure, the hermetic and their interpretation. Twenty years later, Gusmán rewrites his novel to frame the text into realism paradigma. The modulations between both versions allow to study the features that caracterize his poetics in diferent historic periods with distinct conceptions about recent past.
