In Estados alterados, Fogwill revisits themes and issues that obsessed him throughout his writing career: the democratic emergence as the final stage of the so-called process of national reorganization, the place of art and literature, and new forms of writing. It is, as the author repeatedly insists, an essay on literature. This text is Fogwill's last major intervention and was written at the request of the magazine El Porteño in 2000 but was never published.
This edition is accompanied by a prologue by Silvia Schwarzböck, who provides an account of Fogwill's work as an essayist and insightfully places his production within the field of Argentine thought.
