Descrição
Resumo:After numerous trips through the Patagonian region, the Argentinian writer Liborio Justo (1901-2002) wrote and published in 1932 the volume entitled La tierra maldita. Throughout the twelve stories that make up the book, Justo proposes a singular way of seeing the region that dialogues with the tradition of the trip to Patagonia. The purpose of this article is to investigate how La tierra maldita can be thought of as a text that continues the Darwinian view of the trip to the extreme south, while incorporating other voices and arguments to reinvent the narrative about Patagonia after the so-called «Conquest of the desert».
