Between Historical Memory and Literary Narration:On the Construction of Memory Culture in Modiano's Dora Bruder
Dora Bruder is a representative work by the French Nobel Prize-winning writer Patrick Modiano,which he crafted over a decade.Employing the artistic technique of memo-ry,Modiano traces the life experience of the Jews,represented by"the other",an ordinary and vulnerable historical figure Dora Bruder,during the German occupation of France in World War Ⅱ.Through this narrative,he profoundly reveals the elusive human destiny and a segment of history that has been obscured.Modiano's construction of memory culture in"Dora Brud-er"is concretely manifested in the accumulation of historical fragments and the opportunity for literary creation,the integration of historical texts and the reflection in literary texts,and the presentation of historical memory intertwined with literary writing.Positioned within the interstitial structure of historical memory and literary narration,Modiano develops a construc-tion of memory culture through the New Historicist mode of literary creation.
