Abstract

BODE, Frauke. Lo fantástico y la memoria histórica en Rivas. Olivar [online]. 2015, vol.16, n.24, pp.4-4. ISSN 1852-4478.

Analyzing three examples, En salvaje compañía(1994), El lápiz del carpintero (1998), and Los libros arden mal (2006), this contribution seeks to determine the function of the fantastic as a mode to tell about traumatic events like the Spanish Civil War and the Franco dictatorship within a context of cultural memory in Manuel Rivas’ novels. The main hypothesis is that the ‘real maravilloso gallego’ offers a particularly apt structure to talk about the Civil War by conferring the dead a space of action within fiction.

Keywords : Manuel Rivas; fantastic; cultural memory; trauma.
