THE WEIGHT OF MEMORY: MEMORY FRICTIONS IN CONTEMPORARY LITERATURE, A REVIEW
Resumen
It is a review of Memory Frictions in Contemporary Literature, book edited by Mª Jesús Martínez-Alfaro and Silvia Pellicer-Ortín and published in 2017.
Memory Frictions in Contemporary Literature is a valuable contribution to memory studies that calls for a transformation of trauma studies from those with a focus on Euro-American events to a different kind where the multicultural and diasporic nature of contemporary culture is considered.
The volume is composed of fourteen chapters divided into 4 parts that, according to Robert Eaglestone, deal with the relationship between memory and politics, memory and trauma, and in a more subtle way, memory and ethics, following the postcolonial debate on memory studies (277).
