The Uruguayan writer Felisberto Hernandez (1902-1964) has been typically depicted as an outsider or a marginal figure within Latin-American Literature. Paradoxically, his influence and popularity have grown in time, with multiple contemporary authors declaring admiration for him, and multiple re-editions of his works. My dissertation addresses how Felisberto Hernandez's literary project is based on the exploration of the limits that lie beyond his knowledge. I argue that because of his tendency to continually point out at what he cannot know, the Uruguayan author is a forerunner of contemporary writers that reflect on current the inevitability of ignorance. In order to show this recent trend, I focus as well on the Argentinian author Cesar Aira (1949), who has explicitly established that his novels do not expect to reach a conclusion or a definitive knowledge but seek to be models of endless creation. Relying on Walter Benjamin's theory of allegory, my project show, in the era of high capitalism, these artists abandon the hope for achieving certainty and prefer to explore their own ignorance. Through close-reading analysis, my project highlights common motifs in Hernandez's and Aira's stories: the prominence of ruins and fragments, the dissociation of the self, the disarticulation of conventional hierarchies, and the melancholy for unified epistemological totality. These characteristics found both authors' projects as unstable narratives continually striving to escape knowledge; as such, they should not be valued so much for what they appear to express positively, but for what they leave unsaid in the exploration of their own ignorance.
