La identidad de uno, la de todos: un relato difícilmente "anudado". A propósito de El retrato postergado de A. Cuervo

Abstract

The Argentine history of the last quarter of century has been influenced by the conditions of fact established by the information that accompany the process inaugurated by the Military Meeting in March, 1976. All of us share in our biography this experience: we were influenced, in any way, by his consequences. Furthermore, we might assure that the national identity recognizes this milestone as variable of our biography’s configuration. The statement of our life registers in or from the same one. Some prominent people, figures, and some groups recognize a particular value in their statements. They constitute recollections, they recover ideals and valorize themselves in certain system of values and of beliefs. Nevertheless, for those that must recover his biography from the absence, the plot becomes more complex: the value that for all it represents does not manage to re-put the sense to the silence, to the absence, to the disappearance. Andrés Cuervo’s El retrato postergado weaves with cuts and voices that serve to the recovery of this another statement, which returns the familiar image of Haroldo Conti, father, friend, writer, scriptwriter; already not politician, already not militant, already not banner of all, but experience of few ones.
