Autoficción y trabajo de memoria en <i>La casa de los conejos<i/> de Laura Alcoba

Abstract

The article explores discursive representations within the field of memory in La casa de los conejos by Laura Alcoba. The choice of autofiction as a genre allows discovering new mnemic narratives around the unequal confrontation between Montoneros and right-wing repressive forces. These novel ways of viewing the past are connected to what Ricoeur has called “work of memory”, a therapeutic elaboration on memory that enables a community to reach hope and forgiveness.
