The historical origin of testimonial literature is related to the Latin American political cultural process in the 60-70s, but testimonial literature as a genre exposes significant particularities when its development in postdictatorial Argentina is considered. Therefore, this paper focuses on Argentine testimonial literature produced during the 1980 decade. Firstly, we present a panoramic approach to the history of Argentine testimonial literature, beginning with its initial boom in the 70s, and taking up to the contemporary period. Secondly, we analyze three works produced by Argentine writers during the 1980 decade: Recuerdo de la muerte by Miguel Bonasso, La Escuelita by Alicia Partnoy and Pasos bajo el agua by Alicia Kozameh. The study shows the different interrelations between testimony and fiction, which are displayed in the texts as peculiar ways of representing the concentrationary experience.
