Abstract

La Anunciación (The Annunciation, 2007), María Negroni’s second novel, carries out an archival task, just like her previous novel El sueño de Úrsula (Ursula’s Dream, 1998) did, although focusing on a different collection. As Ana Porrúa has already noted about some of María Negroni’s essays, it is possible to recognize in her work an “archive of poetical imagination,” which is shaped through a special reading of Modernity. Negroni’s passion for collecting, as her readers already know, is drawn towards anything having to do with the Gothic, the fantastic, fin de siècle, avant-garde. What characterizes her collection, however, is found in the procedure of montage that, as we will analyse here, is specifically connected with an epistemological conception.
