Heterodoxia, subjetividad y desencanto en las memorias de España de Elena Garro

Abstract

Memories from Spain. 1937, by Elena Garro (1992), is a text that is traversed by the conflict of the self and the History. Effectively, these memories were built within an instable relation between an explicit then (1937) and the now of the writing (probably 1986 or 1987); the sense movements between both moments traverse the culture of the century in a disperse space: the Spanish cities that were in a highly politicized and sophisticated conflict and spheres from Mexico, Paris and New York, connected by an autobiographic process of delayed publication.
