"Hybrid memories" in autofictional writing in recent years: the case of Laura Alcoba

Abstract

Laura Alcoba's trilogy made up of La casa de los conejos (2008), El azul de las abejas(2014) y La danza de la araña (2018) models a building of particular memory in her writing since as a whole it can be read as a literary project framed in Autofiction. In this sense, two-voice narration, imprecise and discontinuous memories, linguistic learning and questions related to extraterritoriality will be the access doors to think about the scriptural mechanisms that address the various problems in the writings from the self to the transit, with some difficulties, the border limits. In this way, weuse the category of hybrid memory to propose an alternative reading with respect to the memory work carried out by the author in this very peculiar writing project.
