Abstract
HILDENBRAND, Adriana. La sangre de la aurora: Reconstructing Trauma as Part of Collective Memory. perifrasis. rev.lit.teor.crit. [online]. 2023, vol.14, n.30, pp.47-64. Epub Sep 26, 2023. ISSN 2145-8987. https://doi.org/10.25025/perifrasis202314.30.03.
From a transdisciplinary approach, the article draws on the psychological concepts of collective memory and trauma to analyse Claudia Salazar Jiménez's novel La sangre de la aurora (2013). On the hypothesis that the novel manages to express the unthinkable in a context of war, which places the life and body of women as a battlefield, this paper identifies the way in which narrative strategies such as a fragmented structure, the sudden abandonment of syntax, changes in focus and in the arrangement of narrative time enable weaving individual memories of horror and affection, and thereby creating a collective narrative, a rupture of silence despite the persistence of the core aspects of psychosocial trauma.
