Abstract

OLAZIREGI, Mari Jose. Cualquier tiempo pasado fue peor. Reflexiones sobre la narrativa vasca post-ETA. Olivar [online]. 2019, vol.19, n.30, pp.60-60. ISSN 1852-4478.  http://dx.doi.org/https://doi.org/10.24215/18524478e060.

In what follows, we will try to reflect on the consequences that the end of ETA's armed activity has had in Basque-language novels. In order to do so, and before addressing the interpretation and analysis of some representative works, we will present an introduction about the particularities of representation of the Basque conflict in Basque narrative as well as its thematic and formal evolution. We will end our analysis with an interpretation of some novels by the Basque writers Ramon Saizarbitoria, Harkaitz Cano, Katixa Agirre, Lander Garro, and Uxue Alberdi. Our analysis will be guided by aspects such as that of primary and secondary victims, the inheritance received and its transmission, and the transformation of a resistance national identity.

Keywords : Basque literature and ETA; Contemporary Basque narrative; Historical memory.
