Literatura y poder: Sobre la potencia del testimonio en América LatinaDOI: 10.4067/S0718-04622010000100007 Keywords: testimonio, archive, truth. Abstract: the primary objective of this paper is to give an account of the usefulness/uselessness of the definition of testimonial narrative, and to signal its origins or emergence dating from the nineteen sixties. on the other hand, i show that the pretension of seeking its genealogy in colonial chronicles and discourses is to misunderstand its function. finally, from writings of giorgio agamben, i propose a different way to read latin american testimonial narrative.
