Resumen
BALCAZAR MORENO, Melina. Huellas en el agua: las políticas de la memoria en Un cautivo enamorado de Jean Genet. Acta poét [online]. 2007, vol.28, n.1-2, pp.307-322. ISSN 2448-735X.
Facing the gestion mourning practics for the State -as monuments and ceremonies of commemoration which adjourn the event and push to forget the dead and their sufferings-, Jean Genet refuses the elaboration of mourning and subjects his writing process to a "desire of memory". How to keep the traces of a dead friend? How to transform his dead into an affirmation of life that does not imply a denial of death? For Genet, it is not enough to remember the dead as a return to the past by means of an act of anamnesis almost obsessive. If there is something that could survive it could not be other than an ephemere imperceptible image, as "traces in the water". This form of reading questions the paradoxical character of this image in relation to the notion of event.
