- Title
EL FONDO DE LA MEMORIA: LOS RECUERDOS DEL PORVENIR DE ELENA GARRO.
- Authors
Junco, Ethel; César Calabrese, Claudio
- Abstract
The paper formulates an approach to memory in Elena Garro’s novel, its relationship with historical truth and its restatement through active imagination according to the point of view of Paul Ricoeur. The story reviews conventional binomials (collective-individual, story-dream, reality-fiction, power-love) and transforms them from the notion of anámnesis, with which it blurs the present and eliminates the past-future distance. With a perspective that goes from critical operation to action, the novel sets out to replace a notion of memory-object by a notion of memory-illusion. The author raises the act of imagination as new knowledge in the face of misfortune and marginality, not as a historical-social alternative.
