Working through Memory studies various constructions of memory in
contemporary Spanish literature, evoking different aspects of a
past of repression, from both the civil war and the Franco regime.
Ferran analyzes narrative texts published between the 1960s and
1990s that present memory and the recuperation of a traumatic past
as their main theme. Drawing on a wide range of theoretical
approaches to the study of memory, this book examines how each text
presents a meta-narrative reflection of the very process of memory
production, of how it is written and rewritten, recounted or
repressed, transmitted or forgotten. Drawing particularly on trauma
theory, Ferran argues that the analyzed texts provide effective
models for what Freud called "working through" memory. This process
is shown to be effective as it unsettles dominant historical
discourses in the present, allowing for the pain and suffering of
the victims of a traumatic past to emerge through various forms of
narrative disruption and fragmentation.
