Abstract

Publicado um ano após o fim da Segunda Guerra Mundial, Back de Henry Green explora as implicações psicológicas da guerra. O protagonista, um soldado que retorna a casa, sofre de delírios enquanto tenta conciliar os horrores experienciados em combate com a perda inesperada da sua amada. Partindo dos conceitos de trauma e fabricação de memórias, o presente artigo pretende determinar quais os mecanismos empregues pelos intervenientes do romance para preservarem ou recuperarem as suas memórias. Deste modo, as noções de confabulação e o esquecimento ativo são concebidas como duas formas antagónicas de encarar episódios amnésicos (voluntários ou involuntários) e (re)construir o passado.
