- 요약This dissertation examines how contemporary Argentine horror literature serves as a political and ethical intervention into both the unresolved traumas of the dictatorship (1976-1983) and the ongoing violences of neoliberalism. I introduce two key concepts: the impressed-trauma generation-writers shaped by inherited state terror and current structural harm-and detached citizenship, a condition of emotional withdrawal and social fragmentation produced by neoliberal ideologies. These frameworks illuminate how horror functions not as escapism, but as a genre of justice that confronts state violence, commodification, and abandonment. Through close readings of recent horror fiction by authors such as Mariana Enriquez, Marcelo Figueras, and Dolores Reyes, and drawing on trauma studies, affect theory, memory studies, and biopolitics, I analyze how Argentine horror mobilizes Gothic tropes and affective intensity to critique impunity, gender violence, ecological collapse, and the erosion of collective responsibility. Horror in these texts reclaims the dignity of the disappeared, insists on mourning, and compels readers to engage with the ethical debt that violence leaves behind. Rather than offering resolution, these narratives unsettle neoliberal detachment and reactivate empathy, positioning horror as a powerful form of affective resistance. Ultimately, this project argues that contemporary Argentine horror literature bridges historical and ongoing trauma, using fear, grief, and outrage to expose systemic injustice and call readers to witness, remember, and respond.
