REPRESENTATIONS OF THE VIOLENCE OF THE SPANISH CIVIL WAR AND THE FRANCOISM IN THE ROMANCES THE SLEEPING VOICE AND THE THIRTEEN ROSES

The violence of the Spanish Civil War and the period known as Francoism is evidenced in various works of literature called memory in Spain. Among these publications, we find La voz dormida (2002), Dulce Chacon, and Las trece roses (2003), Jesus Ferrero, novels that reveal how the women of this era of Spanish history are represented literarily. In this article, we aim the comparative study of these narratives, which make it possible to examine how it reconstructs, through fiction, a female memory antifraquista resistance from violence memories. In this sense, besides the discussion of memory, history and literature, also we would include our work to the gender issue, as in the novels of Chacon and Ferrero these stories of the Civil War and Francoism to rewrite taking as its starting point the female role. Thus, history and fiction are organized in these works so that they focus on the importance of women in the construction of the Spanish identity.
