Abstract

The theoretical conjunction between the notion of "barbarism" in Walter Benjamin and the concept of "subtraction" in the French philosopher Alain Badiou is a philosophical matrix that allows revisit in novel terms the connection between narrative and experience in "La mayor" by Juan José Saer. This narration explores the possibility of knowing the real related to memory and the capacity of language to capture it, especially in the intertextuality that is set from the start with “In search of lost time” by Marcel Proust. We will develop how the relationship between narrative and language appears based on the categories of
"experience" and "barbarism" (Walter Benjamin) "passion of the real" and "subtraction" of Alain Badiou, in contrast to other readings of “La mayor”.
