Talk about the 90s. Variations of a community

Abstract

The article analyzes current productions that study the 90s Argentine generation of poets, some of them produced by the members of the mentioned poetic group: the last publication of the magazine La Trompa de Falopo, published in 2020 after the death of Ricardo “Circo ”Cerqueiro; Mario Varela’s documentary La vida que te agencies (2018); and two other texts from recent years: Hierba sobre el mundo castigado by the Colectivo poético involuntario (2017) and La poesía en estado de pregunta, interviews done by the poet Osvaldo Aguirre (2014). Some questions that could organize this text are: Is there perhaps a slippage between the idea of generation and the idea of community? Is there a common debt that can be condensed as an aesthetic or a policy? Why the persistence ofthese poets to represent themselves once again? Finally, why does that past insist on returning reconverted? Does a new magazine replace a body so that there is nothing left to solve?
