Abstract

Luisa Valenzuela's novella "Cuarta version," included in her collection Cambia de
armas (1982), is one example ofliterature born from a reaction against Argentina's
oppressive governments. Although Cambio de armas was written earlier during the second administration of Peron, its publication date in 1982, in the midst of la guerra sucia has made it internationally accepted as a narrative that denounces the Argentine regime during that time. As such, the text does not specifically name the military junta but refers to a repressive Argentine regime.
