- (en) The Writing of Terror, in Nadie nada nunca, by Juan Jose Saer The article deals with the Argentine military dictatorship (1976-1983) starting from the fifth novel of the Argentine writer Juan Jose Saer(Santa Fe, 1937, Paris, 2005), Nadie nada nunca. The issue is to try to bring evidence of the fact that some literary characteristics of Saer (destruction of the space and time frames, inter-textual games with human sciences, unresolved detective puzzles, dissociation of the voice, and so on) work as an allegory for the anti-game such as carried out by the military dictatorship during this dark period of History. Likewise, the slaughtering of the horses taking place in the novel may be re-considered, thirty years after the end of state terrorism, in the context of issues dealing with the impact of the representation of violence in Argentine literature. Set between humanity and beastliness, our analytical incursion into the world described by Saer ever since the oblique ubiquity of his exile in France, also aims at paying a tribute to the formal involvement of the writer from Santa Fe. We take for granted that the fictional glittering of Nadie nada nunca is embedded in a poetic approach of the narrative disguise as well as in the duplicity of an author who has become an expert in a very peculiar treatment of anthropology, all the more as this approach brings about the impression of returning itself - in the long run- against Man. Keywords : Argentine literature, writing, anthropology, military dictatorship, violence.
