El afecto como antídoto contra la privatización y despolitización de la memoria

Main Article Content

Anthony Sterling Nuckols
Some of the critical analyses of the so-called “memory boom” literature in Spain point to a privatization of memory and a depoliticization of this theme in narrative, both processes occurring also in Spanish society. In this article, we propose an analysis of the novelSanto Diablo (2004) by Ernesto Pérez Zúñiga and the play El cartógrafo: Varsovia (1:400.000) (2010) by Juan Mayorga, keeping in mind the Spinozan notion of affect (by way of Deleuze) as well as more recent contributions, as an antidote for privatization and depoliticization. Through affect, we offer a reading of these works that (trans)nationalizes the concept of memory and (re)introduces politics in the narratives about the recent violent past.
