Este trabajo experimenta con la idea zambraniana del «adormirse» para leer obras históricamente marcadas por la política, la guerra, la amistad o el exilio. Dividimos el texto en tres secciones: la primera defne el «adormecimiento» como un concepto útil para leer textos, a pesar del miedo a la distracción que conlleva; la segunda sección analiza algunos ejemplos, como Soldados de Salamina, y Lo que a nadie le importa, para observar los peligros que los lectores pueden encontrar en los bosques; en la tercera parte imaginamos un «claro» ideal donde leer los textos.

Estudiamos varios retratos de Roberto Bolaño construidos por Javier Cercas en un corpus periodístico y en dos novelas de autofcción, Soldados de Salamina (2001) y La velocidad de la luz (2005). Llama la atención cómo en esos textos de ficción y no ficción, Cercas reivindica su amistad con Bolaño y destaque en la de éste, sea los rasgos que lo sitúan en la frontera entre la sociedad común y su afuera, sea, en menor medida, su posición tópica. Argumentamos que, al crear estas figuras de Bolaño, Cercas se legitima como escritor

El estudio realiza una búsqueda sobre las intersecciones que se producen producidas en el cine y en el cómic a partir de un texto fuente como Soldados de Salamina (2001) de Javier Cercas. Se abordan las prácticas reescriturales, los intersticios, las permutas y los cambios operacionales más destacados que se producen en el film Soldados de Salamina (2003) de David Trueba y en la novela gráfica Soldados de Salamina (2019) de José Pablo García. En los tres textos la memoria tiene un sentido y una representación distintas, pero los tres enfrentan el desarrollo de la trama como una indagación autónoma y se produce un diálogo que enriquece las reflexiones que se derivan del conjunto de cada una de las manifestaciones, estimulando el debate que propicia los diferentes puntos de vista y el enfoque de los tres objetos de estudio analizados.

Historiographic metafiction and autofiction: different commitments with the referentiality in Estação das Chuvas by José Eduardo Agualusa and Soldiers of Salamina by Javier Cercas. This article offers a comparative analysis of the novels Estação das Chuvas (1996) by the Angolan writer José Eduardo Agualusa (born in 1960) and Soldados de Salamina (2001) of the Spaniard Javier Cercas (born in 1962). The two novels belong to different geographical and cultural contexts. Nevertheless, a common sensibility – due perhaps to the same generational affiliation or to the prevalence of topics in force in the 1990s – makes evident the emergence of both a historical theme and the presence of a subject involved in historical processes. Ultimately, in both novels, we come across a subject that makes history although in quite different ways: involved firsthand in historical events with tragic implications, in the case of Agualusa, and absorbed in a reflection on apparently distant events in the case of Cercas. However, the result of the emphasis on the presence of a subjectivity within historical processes causes the two novels to share a common element, that is, a double generic affiliation. Both Estação das Chuvas and Soldados de Salamina actually share semantic traits that make it possible to classify them at the same time as autofictional novels and historiographic metafictions. Despite their common architectural matrix, the two novels represent two very different expressions within these genres. This manifests itself at different levels: first, the treatment of the autofictional character and, secondly, the treatment of the other characters. Through the analysis of the characters that populate these two novels, I will try to show how the two writers adopt divergent attitudes regarding the degree of referentiality in their works and how they end up proposing two different poetic options. In the analysis of the characters, I consider it useful to introduce a taxonomy that, in addition to including already existing types (referential, historical, fictitious characters), introduces other types hopefully useful to the study of the currently abundant number of fictions that, through an ambiguous narrative pact, are located between fiction and faction.

Em sua famosa conferência “O que é um autor?” (1969), Foucault desenvolve o conceito de função-autor diferenciando-o daquilo que ele chama de “princípio ético de escrita” de seu tempo, que era marcada por uma indiferença quanto à voz autoral. Hoje, quase cinquenta anos depois, podemos dizer que a ética de escrita mudou radicalmente, se levarmos em conta o complexo fenômeno que se convencionou chamar “o retorno do autor”. Sendo assim, cumpre perguntar: qual é a ética de escrita contemporânea? Para respondê-lo, analisamos o romance Soldados de Salamina (2001), de Javier Cercas, bem como a contribuição teórica recente de Giorgio Agamben (2007) e Daniel Link (2010). Por fim, arriscamos afirmar que a ética de escrita contemporânea consiste, justamente, na busca por uma ética de escrita, num movimento no qual o que importa é a procura e não a conclusão, o processo e não o acabamento.

A memory in exile: Soldados de Salamina by Javier Cercas in the Polish contextThis article analyzes some aspects of the reception of Javier Cercas’ novel Soldados de Salamina in Poland. This book is considered to be one of the emblematic works of the contemporary postmemorial trend in the Spanish narrative. Therefore, it seems to be appropriate to examine this novel and its Polish translation within the frame of memory studies using the concept of travelling memory. From this perspective, translation is perceived as a medium which transports the memory of past events belonging to a specific group into a different social and historical context. Polish and Spanish memories apparently do not have common points. It turns out, however, that the Polish reading public does not seem interested in the others’ memory, although is willing to accept some of their ways of dealing with the traumatic past.

RESUMEN España ha visto una nueva ola de literatura publicada en la primera década de este siglo que trata el tema de la Guerra Civil y que se nutre de las preocupaciones y debates que rodean al movimiento de la recuperación de la memoria de la guerra y la posguerra. Este trabajo pretende indagar en la representación de la Guerra Civil en la novela histórica en particular, centrándose en su estructura narrativa fragmentada. El artículo reconoce la yuxtaposición de diferentes elementos del discurso político, periodístico y historiográfico dentro de las narrativas histórico-ficcionales y la estudia según la idea posmoderna de fragmentación. A manera de ejemplo, toma el caso de dos escritores – Javier Cercas y Alberto Méndez – y sus obras Soldados de Salamina (2001) y El impostor (2014), y Los girasoles ciegos (2004) respectivamente. Se utilizan los ejemplos tomados de las tres novelas históricas contemporáneas para demostrar cómo los textos se convierten en sitios de recuperación de la memoria de la guerra y en herramientas de una reconstrucción novedosa pero crítica de la historia de España mediante la adopción de la fragmentación de manera textual, temática y discursiva. ABSTRACT Spain has witnessed a new wave of literature published in the first decade of this century that deals with the theme of the Civil War and that draws upon the concerns and debates surrounding the movement of recover the memory of the war and the postwar. This work attempts to analyze the representation of the Civil War in the historical novel in particular by focusing on its fragmented narrative structure. The article acknowledges the juxtaposition of different elements from political, journalistic and historiographic discourse within the historical-fictional narratives and studies it according to the postmodern idea of fragmentation. For the purpose of explanation, it takes the case of two writers – Javier Cercas and Alberto Méndez – and their works Soldados de Salamina (2001) y El impostor (2014), and Los girasoles ciegos (2004) respectively. The examples taken from the three contemporary historical novels are used to demonstrate how the texts become sites of recovery of the memory of the war and tools of a novel yet critical reconstruction of the history of Spain by adopting textual, thematic and argumentative fragmentation.
