description This article examines literary representations of squatter settlements or shantytowns (villas) in Buenos Aires city. The villa, which used to be a transitory stop for immigrants arriving at the city for a better life, is currently a permanent settlement. The place is a center of attention/attraction because of the growing spectacularization in the media of violence, poverty and social marginality. The comparison of a novel from the fifties with recent texts shows a notable change in the importance given to the aesthetic form at the expense of its social content and denounciation. During the fifties the villa represented a social projection to the future, but in recent interpretations it is described aesthetically and contemplatively.
