Pedro Nava, autobiography, emotion, memoryAbstract
This paper offers a reading of the theme of emotion, focusing on Pedro Nava’s Trunk of bones (1972), Captive balloon (1973), and Iron ground (1976). The theme is examined with reference to the memorialistic discourse of the author but also considering studies in the field of emotion and memory by Paul John Eakin and Patrick Colm Hogan. The aim is to expose how Nava combines discursive domains that are literarily shaped by Aesthetics, History and Psychology to tell life stories.
