Main Article Content
Abstract
During the last two decades, filiation literature established itself as a productive subg- enre in the auto-biographical space, ranging from the referential to the imaginary. This new narrative category stands out because of its innovative potential: by narrating and commenting on their parents’ life, children create an authentic portrait of their society. Through the child’s personal vision of familiar micro-history, they develop a testimony of the macro-history –the most important events of a country’s past. Filiation narrative focuses on the passing down of family heritage, thus, this kind of narration is closely linked to literature of memory, whose textual strategies will be analyzed in the novels Escenario de guerra and Formas de volver a casa.
