This article proposes a reading of the novel Literatura argentina (2011) by the Argentine Pablo Farrés. The main hypothesis holds that the animality in this narrative, articulated in the figure of the dog, establishes a relationship between low body materialism and schizophrenic hallucinatory perception. Argentine literature constitutes an exploration of human artifice in terms of memory of the species and questioning of individual subjectivity. Literatura argentina constitutes an exploration of human artifice in terms of memory of the species and questioning of individual subjectivity. From this perspective, schizophrenia is the non-individual, non-speciesist perception of the world that the living being inhabits. Literature, for Farrés, is the collective enunciation of a species that explores its non-human foundation, suggesting an evolutionism that goes back to the dog as a primordial ancestor.
