          Abstract

          Frente a las lecturas de orientación psicoanalítica (Premat, Corbatta), otro modo de leer a Saer tiende a resaltar el peso innegable del azar en su obra (Dalmaroni y Merbilhaá, Iglesia). Nuestra lectura intenta esclarecer la maniobra narrativa de Saer al orquestar el improbable matrimonio del azar con el psicoanálisis en Nadie nada nunca. Siguiendo a Baudrillard en Las estrategias fatales, el psicoanálisis tendió a “eliminar el azar de los lapsus, de los actos fallidos, de los sueños, de la locura”(162). Si la reunión de la causalidad y de la casualidad es problemática en la quinta novela de Saer, sostenemos que esta situación se debe al terror dictatorial. Para intentar probar esto, el trabajo ahonda en el sueño del Gato (cap. II) que se desarrolla en un casino-prostíbulo. Este episodio -mise en abyme fundamental de la novela- nos permite adentrarnos en la alegorización de lo arbitrario dictatorial y es la ocasión de resaltar la maestría de Saer cuando instrumentaliza las colusiones de intereses azarosos y psicoanalíticos en una base económica cuestionable.

          Translated abstract

          In contrast with psychoanalytic readings (Premat, Corbatta), another way of reading Saer highlights the relevance of chance in his work (Dalmaroni and Merbilhaá, Iglesia). Both types of readings pose theoretical questions. Indeed, as Baudrillard puts it in Les stratégies fatales, “psychoanalysis […] and its unconscious interpretation have ruled out the accidental nature of lapsus, of Freudian slips, of dreams, of madness (162)”1. Our reading attempts to shed light on the literary project of the Argentinian writer as he plots the improbable relation of chance and psychoanalysis in his fifth novel, Nadie nada nunca. In this vein, the problematic coexistence of causality and chance can only be explained by the dictatorial terror that permeates this novel. To prove this, the article analyzes the oneiric world of El Gato (II), in which the freudian principle of condensation turns a bawdy house into a casino. This crucial episode -mise en abyme of the novel- leads us into the allegorization of the dictatorial arbitrary, and enables us to regard Saer’s literary achievement as he instrumentalizes the random and psychoanalytic collusions of interests in semiotic games.
