Pozzi, Antonio modernidad posmodernidad literatura vanguardias Nación modernity postmodernity literature avant-garde Nation Critical tensions surrounding the problem of Modernity and Postmodernity in the works of Beatriz Sarlo and Horacio González. What happened to literature? Is it an autonomous field in the “postmodern” era? What space do literary and cultural criticism occupy in peripheral postmodernity? What happened to the avant-garde movements? Where is the Nation? The proposals put forward by Beatriz Sarlo, in Escenas de la vida posmoderna, and Horacio González, in Restos pampeanos, suggest not only possible answers to all these questions, but also current discussions that trace the critical drifts of these two intellectuals in the face of the emergence of the “postmodern” and the end of modernity. This article proposes to polemicize these questions and propose a potential farewell (that was never given) to the fragile body of literature. Tensiones críticas en torno al problema de la modernidad y la posmodernidad en las obras de Beatriz Sarlo y Horacio González ¿Qué ocurrió con la literatura? ¿Es un campo autónomo en la época “posmoderna”? ¿Qué espacio ocupan la crítica literaria y cultural en la posmodernidad periférica? ¿Qué pasó con las vanguardias? ¿En dónde quedó la Nación? Las propuestas planteadas por Beatriz Sarlo, en Escenas de la vida posmoderna, y Horacio González, en Restos pampeanos, sugieren no solo posibles respuestas a todas estas preguntas, sino también discusiones actuales y que trazan las derivas críticas de estos dos intelectuales frente a la emergencia de lo “posmoderno” y el fin de la modernidad. Este artículo se propone polemizar estas preguntas y plantear un potencial adiós (que nunca fue dado) al frágil cuerpo de la literatura.
