The relations between history and literature do not always suppose a reliable registry of facts; on the contrary, they invite to a process of interchange
that well can end at the myth. In this text, we review the novel Santa Evita by
Tomas Eloy Martínez under the gaze of pop culture. To such extent, the narration centered on Eva Perón, supposes a new way of recognizing idolatries in
contemporaneity and of identifying its diverse manifestations that go through
the way in which the feminine figure is constructed, the thematization of its
body or the relation that it has with the massive means of communication.
