Abstract
The purpose of this article is to analyze the relation between the concepts of property, taste and mass culture in three stories by Silvina Ocampo published in La furia (1959) and Los días de la noche (1970). I propose as a hypothesis that in these three stories, published during the post-Peron period, mass culture intrudes in the private life of the characters through the compulsive and cumulative acquisition of kitsch objects, the repetition of set phrases and clichés, the discourse of the written press and the radio, as well as other topics belonging to the massive genres.
