Text of Note

The present work analyzes the return-both the physical return and anticipated physical return-to the homeland after living in exile, the act of remembering caused by this process, and the metareflective role that the genre of autofiction plays in this interaction. The dissertation examines the twenty-first century autofictions of four Latin American countries: La casa de los Conejos by Laura Alcoba of Argentina; Memorias prematuras by Rafael Gumucio of Chile; ConPasión absoluta by Carol Zardetto of Guatemala; and El sueño del retorno by Horacio Castellanos Moya of El Salvador. These autofictions are part of an important corpus, one that offers a lens into the cultural and political implications of the return to countries that were once ruptured by dictatorships and civil wars. In addition, this dissertation provides a theoretical framework for the theme of the return and the auto-fictional narrative processes that have been developed over the last two decades.
