The confrontation of fiction and reality displays a revision of how power transgresses the imposition of its own “right” in order to maintain the applicability of its authority and hegemony.
As a departing point and in the mode of a preface the book opposes the mythical figure of Oedipus Rex with that of the main character, Dale Bartholomew Cooper, in the TV series Twin Peaks. This opposition serves as a parallel to the question: Which is the division line between the improper and unlawful execution of an act that is in itself proper and lawful and the Maquiavelic statement “the ends justifies the means”?
The book contains the first publication—outside Paraguay—and the first translation to English of the Archives of Terror of Paraguay, which are the police archives of the dictatorship of Alfredo Stroessner. The book also reviews specific works of 7 contemporary artist (Alberto Baraya, François Bucher, Nicole Cherubini, Clarisse Hahn, José Carlos Martinat, Pablo Sigg and Kerry Tribe) who in their own methodology unravel systems in which legality and illegality are confronted, substituted or suppressed by each other.
