This article studies the configuration of the family in two recent Argentine novels, La familia by Gustavo Ferreyra and El absoluto by Daniel Guebel. Starting from a recognition of the attributes that the family had in the tradition of the novel, this text examines the values that these two novels built around genealogy, lineage and kinship. At the same time, the article study the articulations with the concept of gender in relationship with two fictions not clearly related to this contemporary pattern of reading and fiction production. Finally, this article analyzes the temporal variables, an aspect that is linked to the time allotted to the family through lineage and reproduction. The extensive, profuse and unconventional configuration of this novels indicates a divergence with respect to this assignment and the possibility of other forms and binders of the family.
