Abstract

BARRAZA CABALLERO, Luisa Fernanda  and  PLANCARTE MARTINEZ, María Rita. MEMORY AND SHIPWRECK IN ALEJANDRO ZAMBRA'S FORMAS DE VOLVER A CASA. perifrasis. rev.lit.teor.crit. [online]. 2016, vol.7, n.13, pp.99-112. ISSN 2145-8987.

This essay focuses on an interpretative lecture about the representation of memory in Alejandro Zambra's Formas de volver a casa (2011). Thinking shipwreck metaphor and its imaginary as the axis that makes the sense of loss throughout the novel, this work analyses three thematic forms that give the idea of memory: body, space and writing. Shipwreck and memory move in counter rhythm in Zambra's novel, creating a unique synecdoche of the contemporary subject's political defeat.

Keywords : Alejandro Zambra; memory; post-dictatorship novel; body; political defeat.
