| Abstract | |
This work deals with the boundaries between memory and fiction in some pieces of Günter Grass (1927-) - namely, "The tim drum" (1959), "Cat and mouse" (1961), "Dog years" (1965) and "Peeling the onion" (2006) - taking into account its testimonial content from Nazism and postwar era, considering the author's position as social subject and object, in one of the most representative environments of world history in the twentieth century. Using theories of literature, culture and philosophy as support, as well as critics, essays and journalistic texts, besides other literary texts in a comparative perspective, it aims to observe the processes of fictionalizing individual memories, writing an autobiography in the form of a novel and building cultural memory through literature (AU) | |
