| dc.description.abstract | Foer's novels, Everything Is Illuminated (2002) and Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close (2005), present characters that are confronted with individual or social amnesia, and narrate their efforts to cope with this situation, which is a consequence of the vicissitudes of the 20th century. The destruction of a shtetl in Ukraine, the bombing of Dresden, both during World War II, and the 9/11 attacks in New York establish the framework of human experiences which are conditioned by age and generation, culture and geographic location. Migrations and encounters reveal cultural and linguistic differences, or the refusal to speak; these conditions of a difficult communication are obstacles to the reconstruction of lost memory and require specific solutions, e.g. a catalogue of written words or the help of a translator. This search for the recovery of memory in transcultural situations implies an encompassing vision of the history and culture of the contemporary globalized world. | pt_PT |
