Abstract

Life in Latin-American cities recently influenced by the process of modernization was profoundly modified by the speed of communications by the end of the 19th century. The impact of this novelty affected the structure not only of journalistic but also literary texts, fantastic ones in particular, between 1880 and 1900. The present article analyses a set of Argentinian fictional writings produced during the aforementioned century. The technical reproduction disrupts these ficitons, in which modern genres, such as police, fantastic literature and scientific fantasy mix together while also condemns a failure on their contemporary historical referent. The voices of ghosts and mediums represented in these ficions reveal people´s new interest in the act of repetition as well as in verbal acts; interest, which had only been noticed in writing by then.
