Resumo: This article addresses the influence of memory in the literature of World War II. By focusing above all on the traumatic memory of German soldiers who subsequently became writers, the article compares the possibilities of narration, which comprises simultaneously a part of historical account, fiction and reorganization – sometimes intentionally, sometimes not – of the writer´s most outstanding memories. The recalling of these actors, persons who do not intend to achieve historical truth, travels across imaginary paths in order to cathartically free them from the traumatic past. In this text we likewise aim to present examples of cases in which the testimony as a personal (and not historical) unconscious reality runs through the narrative so as to build a reality that is faithful to the author and many of his readers.

Focando principalmente na lembrança traumática de soldados alemães que se tornaram posteriormente escritores, o artigo coteja as possibilidades da narração, que compreendem ao mesmo tempo uma parte de relato histórico, ficção e de reorganização, ora intencional, ora não, de suas recordações mais marcantes. O relembrar destes atores, que não pretendem alcançar uma verdade histórica, percorre caminhos imaginados para liberta-se catarticamente do passado traumático. Busca-se aqui também apresentar exemplos de casos em que o testemunho, como realidade pessoal (e não histórica) inconsciente perpassa a narração de forma a construir uma realidade fiel ao autor e a muitos de seus leitores.Editora da PUCRS - ediPUCRS2018-10-19info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfhttps://revistaseletronicas.pucrs.br/ojs/index.php/letronica/article/view/3060010.15448/1984-4301.2018.s.30600Letrônica; Vol. 11, No. supl (2018): Discourse, Memory, Otherness; s178-s188Letrônica; Vol. 11, n. supl (2018): Discurso, Memória, Alteridade; s178-s1881984-430110.15448/1984-4301.2018.sreponame:letrônicainstname:Pontifícia Universidade Católica do Rio Grande do Sul (PUCRS)instacron:PUC_RSporhttps://revistaseletronicas.pucrs.br/ojs/index.php/letronica/article/view/30600/17322Copyright (c) 2018 Letrônicainfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessKunrath, Milena Hoffmann2019-10-15T21:33:52Zoai:ojs.revistaseletronicas.pucrs.br:article/30600Revistahttps://revistaseletronicas.pucrs.br/ojs/index.php/letronicaPRIhttps://revistaseletronicas.pucrs.br/ojs/index.php/letronica/oailetronica@pucrs.br||ivanetemileski@gmail.com1984-43011984-4301opendoar:2019-10-15T21:33:52letrônica - Pontifícia Universidade Católica do Rio Grande do Sul (PUCRS)false
