Description
Summary:This article analyzes the novelsO mar nuncatransborda, by Ana MariaMachado, andEl mar que nos trajo, by Griselda Gambaro, within a comparativeframe, in order to exam the representation of national identity and self-identitythrough the intersection ofhistory, fiction and memory. The two novels offer analternative perspective of nation that privileges the micro histories of groups orindividuals at the margins of the official historiography, and emphasizes the“ambivalence” of the concept of the nation (according to Homi Bhabha), asopposed to a hegemonic idea of nation that defines it as a unified entity.
