Main Article Content
Abstract
The present study analizes two novels −Hija del silencio (2006) de Manuela Fingueret y La luz oscura (2013) de Nicolás Vidal− which focus on the relation between traumatized characters and their children, from the perspective of the latter. The novels that work on the trauma as something inherited and based on an intimate treatment of the character identity. Thus, the narration especially develops the figure of the “listener” testimony, and builds a barrier between “witness from inside” and “witness from outsinde”. These narratives highlight the necessity of the elaboration of trauma in the familiar context. Our thesis is that this narratives build an intersubjectivity field where the bond between witness and listener defines an aesthetic of silence.
