Ditadura e memória em duas autoras: considerações sobre Os fios da memória, de Adriana Lisboa, e Lengua madre, de María Teresa Andruetto

Abstract

Contemporary literature, with emphasis on the novel, goes through a kind of revision regarding historical issues. In the specific case of Latin America, this revisionary process turns to the different dictatorships experienced in their countries in this period. It is in this line of reasoning, which proposes a reflection on literary representations of collective catastrophes suffered by two South American countries in the twentieth century, Brazil and Argentina, that this work is organized. For that, we selected the authors Adriana Lisboa and María Teresa Andruetto, due to the perceived affinity in relation to the construction of their aesthetic projects. There is a correlation, in the authors' work, between collective trauma and individual trauma and the role of memory in this imbrication. As a theoretical basis, the concepts of individual memory and collective memory (HALBWACHS, 2003) can be compared; the concept of past (GAGNEBIN, 2009); the concepts of family memory and generational memory (CANDAU, 2016); as well as the notion of past time (SARLO, 2005).
