Resumo: This paper focuses on the close linkage between literature and collective memory, based on the claim that literary texts restitute the historicity of a time and may raise reflections on processes of configuration of social memories and oblivion. To develop this argument, it discusses two novels: Der vorleser (1995), by Bernhard Schlink, a work that reflects the complex disputes over the definition of public memory in postwar Germany; and La carroza de Bolívar (2012), by Evelio Rosero, which evinces the tension between hegemonic national memories and local dissident memories in Colombia in the 19th and 20th centuries, manifested in the various significations of Simon Bolivar as a liberator.

Para desarrollar ese argumento se analizan dos novelas: El lector (1995), de Bernhard Schlink, obra en la cual se reflejan las complejas disputas por la definición de la memoria pública en la Alemania de posguerra; y La carroza de Bolívar (2012), de Evelio Rosero, donde se evidencia la tensión entre memorias hegemónicas nacionales y memorias disidentes locales en la Colombia de los siglos XIX y XX, manifiesta en las diversas resignificaciones de la figura del libertador Simón Bolívar.Sociedade Brasileira de Teoria e História da Historiografia, Universidade Federal de Ouro Preto, Universidade Federal do Estado do Rio de Janeiro2015-04-29info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfhttps://www.historiadahistoriografia.com.br/revista/article/view/79210.15848/hh.v0i17.792História da Historiografia: International Journal of Theory and History of Historiography; Vol. 8 No. 17 (2015)História da Historiografia: International Journal of Theory and History of Historiography; Vol. 8 Núm. 17 (2015)História da Historiografia: International Journal of Theory and History of Historiography; v. 8 n. 17 (2015)1983-9928reponame:História da Historiografiainstname:Universidade Federal de Ouro Preto (UFOP)instacron:UFOPspahttps://www.historiadahistoriografia.com.br/revista/article/view/792/536Vargas Álvarez, Sebastiáninfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess2020-05-02T02:38:30Zoai:ojs.www.historiadahistoriografia.com.br:article/792Revistahttps://www.historiadahistoriografia.com.br/revistaPUBhttps://www.historiadahistoriografia.com.br/revista/oaivaldei354@gmail.com || historiadahistoriografia@hotmail.com1983-99281983-9928opendoar:2020-05-02T02:38:30História da Historiografia - Universidade Federal de Ouro Preto (UFOP)false
