Abstract
This study deals with everyday life in Gabriela Massuh’s La intemperie in the context of post-2001 Argentina. The rupture of everyday life produced by this circumstance allows us to observe the mechanisms of dehumanisation and exclusion that capitalist Modernity (understood as biopower) uses for its systematic “purge” of the political community of what it considers to be “surplus”. In these terms, the disintegration of the self that the narrator suffers will trace the first line of the study. The second will examine the functions of the everyday in this work, as the factor of agency, denunciation and subversion in the processes of the re-establishment of everyday routines. Both strands constantly converge with the role of mediation and art in the invention of the everyday and the elaboration of counter-hegemonic discourse.
