Narrativas abyectas y subalternas de la memoria. Una lectura de La hija del caní­bal de Rosa Montero, El palomo cojo de Eduardo Mendicutti y Luna lunera de Rosa Regí s en el marco de la narrativa española de la memoria en la década del noventa

Abstract

The purpose of this work is to compare and contrast three novels written during
the nineties (Mendicutti’s El palomo cojo, Regí s’ Luna lunera and Montero’s La
hija del caní­bal) with the contemporary narratives about memory of the Spanish
Civil war and the Franquism. In these novels, we find a particular interest in
different aspects related to gender and to non-hegemonic identities. The main
hypothesis states that the novels of Mendicutti, Regí s and Montero show the
construction of abject subjects or identities together with the subversión of conventional
literary forms. These identities are openly opposed to the construction
of an I which is intellectual, civic and exemplar in contemporary literature about
memory.
