| Abstract: | [From Event To Literary Discourse: The Role of Memory] Representing the Holocaust is always problematic. When the Holocaust is a literary subject, the controversy is even greater. The article seeks to illuminate how the Holocaust is developed into a theme in literary discourse. To understand how an event becomes literature, an awareness of memory traps is needed. Depending on the role of memory, we identify: memorial narratives, in which the event is the substance of the narrative and compositional procedures are listed in the background; the allegorical narrative, in which the writer’s fantasy moves the events back and forth between the real and the unreal, but the range of themes remains serious; and another category (the last one here, but not least, because of its present relevance), which is a sort of fragmented novel, where the event is imagined by the reader, a text in which the boundary between the comic and the tragic is erased, but the historical frame is presevered. |
