SUAZO, Gisela. Un análisis fenomenológico-levinasiano de la cuestión del tiempo en Nadie nada nunca de J. J. Saer. Tópicos [online]. 2021, n.41, pp.142-167. ISSN 1666-485X.

This paper explores the different meanings of time in the work Nadie nada nunca by Juan José Saer and the uniqueness of his writing. It proposes an interdisciplinary approach that articulates elements of literary criticism and concepts of the philosophy of Emmanuel Levinas in order to elucidate the potential ontological, aesthetic and political senses of the temporal phenomenon in the novel studied. The Levinasian concept of diachrony is used as an essential hermeneutical figure, to understand and characterize the Saerian writing style that accounts for the experience of the present that affects the characters, and the image of the discontinuous time implicit in the work. The concepts of present, instant, memory and consciousness researched in literary studies on the work of Saer, are selected in order to find, beyond ontological conception of the materiality of time, an aesthetic resource that allows us to think about the constitution of time and subjectivity in the context of the military dictatorship in Argentina.
