- Fazer uma história da própria vida. Narrativa pessoal e memória comunicativa em Paul Schatz im uhrenkastenPublication . Simões, Anabela ValenteThis essay offers a reflection on the concepts of identity and personal narrative, a line of argument that is closely interlaced with a subject‘s capacity to self-representation. As self-representation is necessarily composed upon remembrance processes, the question of memory as an element that directly influences the formation of an individual‘s identity becomes an emergent topic. Bearing this objective in mind, I shall highlight the notion of biographic continuity, the ability to elaborate a personal narrative, as an essential prerogative to attain a sense of identitary cohesion and coherence. On the other hand, I will argue that not only experienced memories play a key role in this process; intermediated, received narratives from the past, memories transmitted either symbolically or by elder members of the group or, what has been meanwhile termed ―postmemory‖, also influence the development of an individual‘s identitary map. This theoretical framework will be illustrated with the novel Paul Schatz im Uhrenkasten, written by German post-Holocaust author Jan Koneffke.
- Reshaping collective memories: Trauma and guilt in the filmic adaptation of GebürtigPublication . Simões, Anabela ValenteThe present essay aims at discussing the topic of post-memory of World War II by individuals who formed their identity after the end of this historical landmark. Bearing this objective in mind, a reflection upon the influence of the different types of memory in the process of identity formation shall be proposed and it will be contended that both memories formed upon the subject’s experiences as well as second-hand, intermediated, inherited memories from the past –memories transmitted either symbolically or by elder members of the group –, deeply influence the elaboration of a subject’s identitary map. This theoretical framework will be subsequently illustrated with examples taken from the cinematographic adaptation of Gebürtig, a novel written by the Jewish Austrian author Robert Schindel.
