Abstract

PEREZ HUARANCCA, Julián. Where the historian forgets, the novelist recalls: A hermeneutic reading of Miguel Gutierrez's Poderes secretos. Desde el Sur [online]. 2019, vol.11, n.2, pp.169-182. ISSN 2076-2674.  http://dx.doi.org/10.21142/DES-1102-2019-169-182.

With a title that repeats a brief extract from the novel Poderes secretos, our aim is to offer a reflection upon the success of literary narrative discourse in its attempt to symbolize the Real, while returning always to human relations. At the same time, we seek to address ideas concerning the ways in which artistic discourse contributes to memory and can in some cases find itself functioning as a truth and as a testament to the fidelity of that truth.

Keywords : Power; memory; forgetting; novel; history; hegemony; subalternity; symbolic; real; truth.
