Contornos de la memoria y textura del olvido en Tierra y tiempo (2015) de Juan José Morosoli

Abstract

This article analyzes the book  Tierra y tiempo  by Uruguayan Juan Jose Morosoli, by identifying elements of narrative construction from what is remembered and what is forgotten that lay the supports of the fictional apparatus that uses rurality to create an identity that can surpass frontiers. The land stops being a space to become a symbolic place where territories are unacknowledged by power. The memory in the characters of this author from Minas is marked by loneliness. The countryside, as a signifier, the stage of conjunction of the land, is what condemns and absolves, like what has been forgotten.
