Abstract

In this article I propose to investigate the relationship between literature and legality in texts written in prison. I will analyze a corpus composed of poems and stories written in prison during the last ten years in Argentina, focusing on the ways in which writing in jail responds to a state of the language and the morality of the law, so as to reflect on the limits of democracy in a new advance of neoliberalism in Latin America.
