Entre irmãos: adoção e imaginação em Julián Fuks, A Resistência (2015)

Abstract

This article argues that in his autofictional novel A Resistência (2015) the Brazilian author Julian Fuks explores the affective and imaginative implications of family memory, namely with regard to his non-biological brother who had been adopted when his politically active parents fled the Argentine dictatorship for Brazil. The real parents of this unnamed brother have been among the ‘disappeared’ of the political state violence. The article shows how Fuks uses this very particular situation of family memory to explore the imaginary and hypothetical components that are integral both to the individual construction of the past and the affective bonds within a family.
