Abstract

In times of political tension, reflections on history, the past, and how facts are — or are not — transmitted through time come to the fore and create new dialogues in the present. Literature as an artistic expression tells us a lot about the circumstances of a historical period, and what has been perceived as recurring in literary events and circles, where authors talk about their work, is the confrontation with the grand discourse, with the speech of the so-called “enemy”, who, in the course of history, “has not ceased to win” (Benjamin, 1987, p. 225).
