Abstract This article examines how political imagination is being redefined in contemporary Argentina in a historical moment generally characterized as “postpolitical” (Žižek; Mouffe; Rancière). My analysis focuses on films that explore different forms of autofiction, and particularly in two films: Los rubios and Estrellas, which I put in dialogue with a wide range of works of the generation of the “children” –authors born during or shortly before the last military dictatorship (1976-1983). Based on this analysis the article proposes a theoretical redefinition of the concept of autofiction, often associated with forms of ludic narcissism in the context of the postmodern culture of the spectacle, approaching it instead as a productive category to rethink the political at a time of decline of the grand narratives of modernity and as a strategy to reimagine the common in the era of global capitalism.
