A posmemória em Maus, de Art Spiegelman

This work investigates the way in which the cultural production of post-Shoah generations reconciles the unreality of the genocide and the memories that surround it.It is from this point that we begin with the analysis of Maus -a survivor's tale (final edition in 1991), Art Spiegelman's main work through which he represents his father's life narrative as a war survivor of the Shoah.Armed with his story, as well as with a series of historical references, such as photographs, pamphlets, books and stories from other survivors, Art merges the public and private memories by using other mechanisms of representation that break the barrier of the incomprehensibility of Shoah, such as illustrations that juxtapose past and present.As we investigate other theoretical works that address the Shoah -including Spiegelman's other work called Metamaus (2011) -we see how the cultural proposals of post-genocide generations offer new insights and consequently new perspectives for the study of such traumatic situation.Our hypothesis is that the author of Maus creates a three-dimensional dynamics in the transgenerational transformation of the reality of the past by means of its symbolic resignification
