Resumen
La villa de Csar Aira desarrolla los conflictos y transformaciones de dos secto-
res de la capital argentina: por un lado, personajes que viven en una villa miseria
y, por otro, un grupo de habitantes de un barrio acomodado. Nuestro anlisis
propone una lectura de los espacios colectivos representados en la novela con
el objetivo de subrayar los contrastes sociales, las crticas expuestas por la dis-
tribucin urbana de la poblacin y la importancia simblica del retrato de una
ciudad agrupada bajo dos polos. Asimismo, nos enfocaremos en la descripcin
de las relaciones personales presentes en este espacio y los modos de conviven-
cia que estas relaciones expresan. Por ltimo, examinaremos tres niveles dife-
rentes de interpretacin de la trama y analizaremos las relaciones entre una di-
mensin realista de la historia, una estructura basada en cuentos de hadas y la
narracin televisiva presente en la obra.
Palabras clave: comunidad, literatura argentina reciente, espacio urbano, Buenos
Aires, Csar Aira.
Abstract
La villa by Argentinian writer Csar Aira recounts the struggles and changes
experienced by two different social groups: on the one hand, poor and margi-
nalized people living in shanty towns called villas miseria and, on the other hand,
a group of upper middle class people who live in a traditional neighborhood.
Our reading focuses on the shared spaces portrayed in the novel. Our aim is to
underline the social differences and the criticisms exposed by a divided urban
distribution. We will also study the personal relationships described in the
story, as well as new ways of living together in the city. Our analysis involves
three different perspectives found in this narrative: a realist reading, a fairy tale
structure and interpretation, and a recreation of the story done by the media
portrayed in the novel.
Keywords: community, recent Argentine literature, urban spaces, Buenos Aires,
Csar Aira.
