A través del análisis comparado de estas dos novelas, se revisa el distinto procesamiento que se hizo en España y en Alemania del conflicto entre memorias (y entre generaciones) planteado a raíz de la muerte de Franco y de la caída del Muro. En particular, se profundiza en el diferente papel atribuido culturalmente a la pregunta como arma, que una generación más joven y no vinculada a un pasado nacional traumático esgrimió contra sus mayores. A partir de ahí se analiza la reflexión que uno y otro texto plantea acerca de las condiciones que facilitaron (o frustraron) el trasvase desde una memoria comunicativa (reprimida) a la nueva memoria cultural que se estaba (re)construyendo.
Abstract
By means of a detailed analysis of these two novels we compare the different strategies that were used to process the memory conflict which arose in Spanish transition to democracy and in the former German Democratic Republic after the fall of the Berlin Wall. Interest is focussed on the different roles attached to questioning as a weapon which younger generations wielded against their elders. This analysis paves the way to clarify the conditions that possibilitated (or frustrated) the transfer from a private (until this moment repressed) communicative memory towards the new cultural memory that was being (re)constructed.
