From memory to postmemory: political conclusions and contemporary literary fiction

Authors

Keywords:

Memory. Postmemory. The end. Contemporary narrative.

Abstract

The memory is political. A consensus seated in their own constructional nature. Hence the postmemory whose politicization reaches the climax, in that it seems to be more specific and effective in social joint to achieve a possible aspect of representation, including the literary fiction. In this sense, seated on studies that point to the memory of discussion (CANDAU, 2014) and postmemory (HIRSCH, 2008), we seek a relationship of these memory constructions in contemporary narrative, especially the novel “The End” by Fernanda Torres.
