- Abstract:
- Throughout the 150 years of history of 'The Continent,' the memory is repeatedly filtered. Forgetfulness is a constant companion and it is not a natural process, mere consequence of the passage of time, but a socio-cultural construction. There will be a search for the memory, theme of the third part of the trilogy, because, before, there was an effective fight against memories. In this paper, we will address this theme, the chapter 'The Fountain' being the main focus of analysis. We intend to evidence that the romance structure betrays the silencing of memory in relation to the historic universe present there.
- Ao longo dos 150 anos de história de 'O Continente', a memória é repetidamente filtrada. O esquecimento é seu companheiro constante e não é um processo natural, mera decorrência da passagem do tempo, mas construção sociocultural. Haverá uma busca da memória, tema da terceira parte da trilogia, porque antes houve uma luta, eficaz, contra memórias. Neste artigo, abordaremos essa temática, tomando como foco principal de análise o episódio “A fonte”. Pretendemos evidenciar que a estrutura romanesca denuncia o silenciamento da memória relativamente ao universo histórico ali presente.
