Documentalidad, virtualidad y memorias del dolor en "La imaginación pública" de Cristina Rivera Garza

In recent years, theoretical debate around the so-called ‘documentary turn’ has intensified within Latin American literature. In this context, the reappropriation of archives and the political implications of their literary use have become increasingly important. This analysis focuses on the aesthetic and political role of the interplay between virtual documents, such as Wikipedia, and poetry in constructing memories of pain and gender-based violence in Mexico, as depicted in Cristina Rivera Garza’s poetry collection La imaginación pública. The critic shows how the virtual archive effectively embodies intimate experiences through a social language that both amplifies and condenses the text with lyrical undertones.
