Anàlisi sociolingüística de l’univers concentracionari a partir de l’escriptura autobiogràfica de deportats catalans

This paper approaches the literary legacy of Catalan writers who survived the Nazi concentration camps focusing on their linguistic competences, exploring the connections between totalitarianism and language. Specifically, the analysis focuses on the memoirs of Marcial Mayans, Joaquim Amat-Piniella, Mercé Núñez, Jacint Carrió and Joan Vilalta. We also explore Un cel de plom by Carme Martí, based on the testimony of Neus Català.
