No-velar silencios y olvidos : una experiencia de escritura desde mis memorias familiares

Abstract

The text that the reader has in his hands is an amalgam of voices, plagued of tales and experiences of the writer, interpretations, memories translated for dialogue. Research work - creation that defines the term no-velar, a way of metaphorizing the experience from the reading of voices, echoes, silences and forgetfulness that emanate from the signs. To this end, it is divided into three chapters: Silences and forgetfulness from language and social structures; Read silences and forgetfulness in family memories and; From the novel to no-velar: a form of resistance. It begins by establishing that memory is configured through the tale that we weave with our memories, we are narration, hence the importance of language, a bridge that unites us to others. Following Saussure (1991) and Lacan (2009), a “dismemberment” of the sign into signifiers and meanings is proposed, which produce silences and forgetfulness, respectively. The second chapter focuses on the methodology, the collection and grouping of the researcher's family and non-family memories, or in terms of Freud (1972), the heimlich - unheimlich. With the contributions of Ricoeur (1980), Lakoff and Johnson (2017) an exercise in writing is proposed through metaphor, a living entity that transforms the experience by giving it meaning and allowing communication. It concludes by stating that building memory is similar to invention in art, it seeks potentiality and not the purpose of the act itself. The novel, a genre that allows the amalgamation of voices, the multisemantic word, gives way to the no-vela, denied possibility, potency-of-not, paths of an existential memory that when silenced remains in oblivion, absents presences that return. The resistance lies in those ways of novelar the reality, of being constantly in search of the lost sign.
