Description
Summary:The purpose of this work is to compare and contrast three novels written during the nineties (Mendicutti’s El palomo cojo, Regàs’ Luna lunera and Montero’s La hija del caníbal) with the contemporary narratives about memory of the Spanish Civil war and the Franquism. In these novels, we find a particular interest in different aspects related to gender and to non-hegemonic identities. The main hypothesis states that the novels of Mendicutti, Regàs and Montero show the construction of abject subjects or identities together with the subversión of conventional literary forms. These identities are openly opposed to the construction of an I which is intellectual, civic and exemplar in contemporary literature about memory.
