In this article I propose to read the historical structure and syntax of the temporal speculation that Josefina Ludmer rehearses in "El Diario Sabático", the first part of her book Aquí América latina, published in 2010. After situating the hypotheses on post-autonomous literatures in the syntax of the book, I propose to identify in the "Diary" the way in which the memory of the present functions as a form of the "other time" perceived in Buenos Aires year 2000 and the place occupied by the literary testimonies of Tamara Kamenszain and Héctor Libertella in the understanding of the present as a shared historical experience.
