The Presentization of Spanish Civil War Memory in Soldiers of Salamis
Regarded by academia as a milestone work in Spain's"New Civil War Novel,"Sol-diers of Salamis by Javier Cercas marks a significant shift in the writing of civil war memories from"what to write"to"who is writing"and"how to write",which had a profound impact on the construction of the collective memory of the civil war.The novel breaks through the tra-ditional linear narrative,embedding the exploration and reconstruction of civil war memories within the self-narration of contemporary identity crises,thus forming a multidimensional fu-sion of history and present perspectives.Focusing on the individualized and microscopic frag-ments of memory excluded from the grand historical narrative,the novel utilizes combines the reality and fiction to achieve its original intention of creating a"real and fictional story".This interdisciplinary and innovative approach to memory writing reflects not only an aesthetic pursuit but also underscores the strong self-awareness of the writer as well as the probing and presentization of civil war memories.Consequently,it imbues the past and the present,history and the self,with rich and profound implications.
