This article examines three contemporary Argentine literary works involved in discussions about the social status of sexist violence and its visibility politics. From a perspective framed in the feminist movement and its affective networks, our analysis focus on Beya (le viste la cara a Dios), by Gabriela Cabezón Cámara e Iñaki Echeverría (2013), Chicas muertas, by Selva Almada (2014) and Por qué volvías cada verano, by Belén López Peiró (2018). These are works that address classic feminist issues -prostitution, femicide and rape- producing torsions in social places, in the possibilities of speaking, and in the archives. They not only mark the social scheme that produces violence -and those responsible for it- but also display resistance politicies that allow women to imagine themselves beyond victimization in a loving collective.

Palabras clave : Contemporary Argentine Literature; Feminism; Affect; Sexist Violence; Women.
