MONOLINGUISM OF THE MOTHER. MOURNING AND LITERATURE IN MARÍA NEGRONI'S EL CORAZON DEL DAÑO

In this paper I propose to rehearse some reflections on mourning and lit-erature in Maria Negroni's El coraz & oacute;n del da & ntilde;o. As is often the case in mourning writings, this is a text that explores the hiatus that divides the language of the experience of loss. But it is above all the narration of the ambivalence that often invades the survivors when the dead is too present, for their language is inscribed in the intimacy of being. Thus, the dramatic aspect of this book lies in the impossibility of conjuring the power of the dead in a language that belongs to him, staging the attempt of a separation that, by exorcising the excessive vitality of the dead, borders on the death of the living.
