PATES, Giulana A.. “I miss you, I forget you, I love you again.” The construction of love in Argentinian young adult literature. Comunicación [online]. 2018, vol.27, n.1, pp.45-58. ISSN 1659-3820.  http://dx.doi.org/10.18845/rc.v27i1-18.3884.

When we analyze literary objects, it is necessary to go beyond the limits of the text. This article aims to look at the mediations between the literary and social frameworks; that is to say, the specifc features of the literary text and the relationship network to which it belongs. We shall focus specifically on Argentinian romantic young adult literature to reflect on how the literary feld is built, what discursive matrices on love are constructed, and how it is read by young readers. To do so, Georgina Dritsos’ books S.O.S. Tengo mi primera cita (2014) and Diario de una ruptura (2016) shall be analyzed.

First of all, these two books shall be set within to the Argentinian editorial market as well as the author’s literary career will be mentioned. Secondly, the ways in which love is constructed in both books will be analyzed following two discursive matrices: romantic love and contingent love. Finally, the places where the books have circulated and the ways they have been read in Argentina it shall be summarized.

Palavras-chave : Literary sociology; contemporary literature; young adult literature; romantic literature; self-help literature; love.
