Daniel Moyano, archivo y experiencia de escritura

Abstract

The archive of Argentine writer Daniel Moyano (Buenos Aires, 1930-Madrid, 1992) became known in 2009, when a group of researchers supported by the Centre de Recherches Latinoaméricaines / Archivos (Université de Poitiers) accessed the house in Madrid where the author spent his last years,. They explored a treasure that had been hidden from academic and cultural world for over 17 years. Moyano’s work is distinguished by a creative power of multiple edges, and with wealth and curiosities, it is the result of a singular experiential itinerary, nurtured by many trades. Moyano has been a dislocated writer in many ways. Misplaced by the diverse experiences of exile that he have lived, and by symbolic places which he occupied and left related with the publishing market and, therefore, with the public. The writers’ archives are valuable because they favor the dialogue between works already published and those aspects of the work that remain hidden in privacy. They contain information of the genesis of texts, in the form of drafts, manuscripts, digital versions, etc., showing the vacillations of the writing process from a particular work or a set of works. But usually there are other documents that account for the writer›s civil and personal life, which testify their passage through the world and connecting them in a singular way with their time.
