Abstract:

The purpose of this text is to explore the main ideas and issues in the theory surrounding testimonial literature, and to analyze the discussions that brought the genre to a close; these discussions did not take into account the fact that the theoretical-methodological crisis affected the field of testimonial studies but did not affect the creation of new testimonies. Hence, the theory of testimonial literature in Latin America emerged from two works (Biography of a Runaway Slave and I, Rigoberta Menchú), is based on the Marxist concept of class struggle, and acknowledges only one type. Testimonies that do not fit this model have lost importance or been ignored. Although testimonial studies have entered a crisis, new testimonies continue to be produced. Finally, we posit the need to rekindle the debate based on different corpora and other categories of analysis. Received: 27-08-09 /Accepted: 24-09-09 How to reference this article: Fernandez Benitez, H.

Abstract:

En el presente ensayo se analiza el posicionamiento adoptado por parte de la crítica literaria a ambos lados del Atlántico frente al testimonio en tanto que instrumento de denuncia de injusticias perpetradas en contextos históricos traumáticos. Ello se lleva a cabo a través del análisis de los escándalos por los que se vieron rodeados los testimonios de Rigoberta Menchú (activista guatemalteca que obtuvo el Premio Nobel de la paz en 1992), Enric Marco (Presidente de la Sociedad Amical de Mauthausen y otros campos y de todas las víctimas del nazismo de España) y Binjamin Wilkomirski (famoso por una autobiografía en la que describía sus supuestas experiencias en los campos de exterminio nazis). Las reacciones suscitadas por dichos escándalos ilustran el distinto papel atribuido a la categoría de la autenticidad testimonial y autobiográfica por parte de la tradición crítica surgida en torno a la Shoah y por parte de la que se ha desarrollado a partir de la literatura del testimonio latinoamericano. Lo que se pretende mostrar aquí es que las diferencias observables en cuanto a las delimitaciones trazadas entre los géneros ficcionales y los no ficcionales se ven fuertemente determinadas por la memoria cultural de cada país y por la distinta función social que se le asigna a la figura del testigo, función que depende esencialmente del posicionamiento adoptado frente a los acontecimientos más traumáticos del propio pasado nacional. This essay examines the critical reactions to the scandals associated with the testimonies of Rigoberta Menchú, Binjamin Wilkomirski and Enric Marco in order to undermine the differ-ent comprehension and reception of Holocaust testimonial literature and Latin American ‘literatura del testimonio’. The critical responses to Rigoberta Menchú’s autobiographical dis-honesties as representative of the suffering of Guatemala’s indigenous people and to Binjamin Wilkomirski’s and Enric Marco’s false testimonies as Holocaust survivors show that the com-prehension of the testimonial genre depends in great part of the understanding of the limits between fictional and non-fictional genres, understanding which is strongly determinated by the different national memory cultures. The aim of this article is to critically challenge the role played by these different cultural memories in the reception of testimonial literature.

Abstract:

La mirada del que testimonia no sólo es prueba, evidencia, también se impone como lugar simbólico desde el cual se narra una experiencia única e irrepetible. Raúl González Tuñón configura un sujeto ficcional y testimonial, pero no se inscribe como autoridad que presenta la verdad de lo acontecido, sino como sujeto garante de una experiencia inenarrable, la de la muerte. Ese sujeto ficcional, poético, habla de la muerte y recupera esta experiencia de lo real como vivencia, rescata lo impresentable, estetiza, da a conocer zonas veladas de lo real. El tipo de sujeto que rubrica un testimonio no se verá implicado solo como testigo que ve y da fe de lo visto, sino que se construye desde una posición de sujeto partícipe que postula una versión posible de lo ocurrido y además cuestiona otras versiones: todo lo testimoniado depende de una enunciación que es siempre postura y selección.

Abstract:

El presente artículo aborda el estudio de la obra ensayística y la obra literaria de una escritora desconocida en nuestro país, la argentina Nora Strejilevich. A partir de la resignificación que realiza Michel Foucault del método genealógico de investigación histórica, se realiza una lectura comparada de –dándolas a conocer al lector– la genealogía teórica que realiza Strejilevich del género del testimonio en la producción argentina y de la genealogía familiar que redibuja en sus relatos sobre su propia familia. Así, recupera una línea para el testimonio (para el género y para su propia creación testimonial) obviada por la crítica de los ochenta, como es la que procede de los testimonios de la Shoah. De ese modo el terrorismo de Estado que reinó en Argentina durante los años del Proceso se interpreta desde una nueva perspectiva.

Abstract:

The debate over Rigoberta Menchú's testimonio has centered on whether or not Menchú told the “truth” regarding details of her personal life. According to her critics, her “lies” discredit her testimony and reduce the moral authority of leftist intellectuals who teach testimonial texts. This focus on verifiable facts ignores the literary value of testimonios in general and the importance of Menchú's testimony in particular in a discursive war tied to cold war politics. This essay explores the problematics of truth, the nature of testimonio as a genre, and the relation between political solidarity and subaltern narrative. It also examines the function of Menchú's testimonio as a discourse on ethnicity and considers the relation among the anthropologist, the subaltern subject, and truth. The conclusion deals with the need to rethink the concept of identity, with the desires and fantasies of subjective transformation, and with the notion of identity politics.

Full text

Abstract:

Two works by the Chilean writer Diamela Eltit, El Padre Mío (1989) and El infarto del alma (1994; produced in collaboration with Paz Errázuriz), contain an undeniable testimonial impulse that aligns them with testimonio, a genre of subaltern personal narrative that has emerged with new force in Latin America in recent decades. Yet these texts, which present subjects who are mentally ill, incoherent, or lacking identities, call into question some of the key assumptions about testimonial practice and its reception, disrupting the usual responses of identification with and empathy for the narrator. By reading and writing testimonial discourse through a postmodern aesthetic, Eltit advocates the recognition of testimonial subjects as producers and agents of culture rather than as victims in need of compassion. Her project, with its particular merging of the aesthetic and the ethical, constitutes a local yet politically urgent attempt at rethinking the predominant conceptualizations of marginal culture, refusing the notion that the aesthetic is the exclusive privilege of elite culture.

Abstract:

The paper considers women’s testimonies before the South African Truth and Reconciliation Commission, tracing the complexities of speaking about suffering. A growing literature suggests that violence and horror corrupt language and interrupt its flow. Testimonial practices focused on violence’s recall then occupy unstable grounds. Arguing that testimony is mediated by the subject positions from which women speak and that these are shaped by cultural convention, the paper traces the effects of ‘modes of discomfort’, drawing attention to the faultlines between words and experience when violence is recalled.

Abstract:

La presencia de Violeta Parra y su legado como folclorista/artista, aportó con su testimonio al germen de una cultura popular transformadora que se evidenció durante la llamada vía chilena al socialismo y en las reivindicaciones conmemorativas de la post dictadura. La Peña de los Parra y la Carpa de La Reina, fueron artefactos culturales creados desde la práctica artística de la familia Parra. Su reconstrucción desde la memoria testimonial informa sobre el complejo proceso sociocultural en que estaban insertos. Ambos artefactos contienen memorias que connotan formas de participación artística que prefiguran un imaginario que será asociado simbólicamente al proceso político encabezado por la Unidad Popular y cancelado tras el golpe de Estado de septiembre de 1973. El presente artículo ensaya una lectura ex post de ambos casos, recurriendo a la reconstrucción testimonial de esa memoria, relacionando y aplicando nociones surgidas desde los estudios culturales y las memorias. La diacronía reconstruida, mediante diversos testimonios, permite reconstituir el quehacer de las experiencias representadas por la Peña y la Carpa; así, deviene un ejercicio pertinente para indagar en la significativa participación en el proceso histórico de la icónica familia de artistas, encabezada por Violeta Parra.

Abstract:

Guatemala experienced a cruel genocide in the early eighties, in the context of a repressive Conflict. Due to the different governments´ repressive policies, this terrible social situation was little known abroad, and even in the own country. Just after the Peace Accords, several organisms worked to uncover the historical truth. In any case, we cannot forget that testimonial literature is a privileged mean to know this dark period of the contemporary history of Guatemala. This genre is particularly relevant, because the main writers are originally Mayans, and have directly suffered both repression and social exclusion due to ethnic reasons. Rigoberta Menchú, Unmberto Ak´abal and Víctor Montejo represent a new and original point of view in the measure in which they describe feelings and situations from the perspective of those who experience them personally. Testimonial literature or the Testimonio becomes an ethnographic document that allows us to know not just a period but a people who have suffered from repression and exclusion for centuries.

de Pedro Ricoy, Raquel. "Translating the Revolution: Otherness in Cuban Testimonial Literature." Meta 57, no. 3 (2013): 574–91. http://dx.doi.org/10.7202/1017081ar.

Full text

Abstract:

Drawing on existing theories in the field, this paper seeks to explore the issues that surround the translation of Cuban testimonial texts, emphasizing the inevitable portrayal of the Self as an Other. The notion of translation as an articulation of otherness has become a focus of interest in contemporary translation studies. Notwithstanding the worth of the general framework that has emerged as a result, the need for country-specific research is underscored by Cuba’s unique location on the contemporary political map – and its alleged “exceptionalism” – which sets it apart from cultural contexts that have been previously studied. Because of the isolated nature of Cuba, it is important to highlight the gap between the Cuban literature that is published, translated and read outside Cuba, on the one hand, and the Cuban literature that is published and read in Cuba, on the other. The results of bibliographical research and fieldwork indicate that, although publishers and literary experts alike place great emphasis on the significance of otherness, their interest centres on the dissemination of the Cuban experience seen “from inside” (so as to counterbalance Cuban narratives produced by exiles). In doing so, they underscore the “universal nature” of the human experience and play down any alterity that may hinder the translation process.

Full text

Abstract:

The Moroccan Years of Lead (1956–1999) are an important case for the investigation of testimonial literature’s potential to undermine impunity. Both survivors and families of the victims of this dark period of state-mandated violations of human rights have continuously demanded truth, justice, and state apology for the crimes it committed against them. Nevertheless, these demands were not met, even with the establishment of the Arbitration Commission in 1999 and the Equity and Reconciliation Commission (ERC) in 2004. In this article, I draw on writings of survivors of Tazmamart secret prison (1973–1991) to argue that their testimonial literature bears witness in lieu of perpetrators. Because the ERC was not mandated to investigate perpetrators, testimonial literature is the only place where we can gain knowledge about them and their violations of human rights. Indeed, Tazmamart survivors’ testimonial literature provides a unique window through which readers can access the hidden and complex underworld of the perpetrators of state violence in Tazmamart prison camp. I first discuss the implications of the ERC’s failure to report on perpetrators’ crimes, then analyze several testimonial books to reveal how perpetrators are eventually held accountable in these works.

Full text

Abstract:

In much recent cultural theory there has been a noticeable turn to testimonial discourse, perhaps especially in the context of finding ways of bearing witness to human suffering, tragedy and trauma.While this shift toward allowing others to speak ‘in the first person’ provides an important and powerful methodological tool, appealing to first-person testimony is also a hazardous enterprise. (It is, after all, especially difficult to raise questions about the authenticity of visibly pained testimonies.) Drawing on a number of disparate philosophers and writers, in this article I explore some of the central epistemological and ethical problems surrounding testimony. More specifically, I argue that the distinction between truth and sincerity is of fundamental importance here, and as such any unreflective methodological reliance on testimonial discourse is at best misconceived, at worst irresponsible.

El presente trabajo analiza el vínculo entre la literatura testimonial y la hibridez genérica en la novela Sprinters. Los niños de Colonia Dignidad (2016) de la escritora chilena Lola Larra. En el artículo se actualiza el concepto del género testimonial y, a su vez, se devela el texto literario a partir de soportes textuales como la autoficción y la docuficción. El análisis del género testimonial y las técnicas narrativas dan cuenta, por un lado, de la construcción estética literaria y, por otro, de la denuncia que emerge en la novela, a partir de la reconstrucción de fragmentos de la historia que evidencian una nueva forma de articular la literatura testimonial en Chile. Así, se exponen fragmentos de la memoria de Colonia Dignidad y la denuncia de los vejámenes ocurridos allí, en un cruce entre el pasado dictatorial y el des-cubrimiento de un sistemático abuso.

Abstract:

Colombian theatre-makers have been searching for aesthetic languages to speak about the national conflict for decades. By analysing two of the most prominent theatrical productions from the 2010s, I explore the mechanisms they employ for the inscription of testimonies on audiences. I argue that the use of ghosts onstage to make the disappeared present transforms these plays into both ritual spaces and testimonial encounters at the same time. I do this by engaging with Derrida's works on spectres, along with the work of Latin American scholars who have explored the ethical and aesthetic challenges of making art in times of war.

Full text

Abstract:

This article diligently examines the concept of ‘testimonial polyphony’, as introduced by John Beverley in the 1980s, arguing that the effect is consciously constructed during testimonio’s production process. Using Nosotros los humanos: testimonios de los quechuas del siglo XX (1992) as a case study, the article demonstrates how paratextual features can be utilized in such a way as to affect the narrative voice, and frame it as collective in nature. Extensive analysis is undertaken regarding the title, Nosotros los humanos , and the images printed alongside the narrative, to gauge the influence of paratext on the source’s message and style. The article argues that the inclusion of a bilingual title and a wide array of images and diagrams is indicative of a strategy followed by the testimonial editors to grant the source an overarching effect of polyphony.

A partir de un variado corpus de narrativa contemporánea centroamericana, se describen y analizan procesos de transformación de la idea y ejercicio de lo literario. Se dedica atención a sucesivas modalidades como el testimonio, la literatura de posguerra, la novela neohistórica y la literatura gay/lésbica, como alternativa escriturales. A lo largo de un periodo de más de tres decenios —desde 1976 hasta la actualidad— se pone en entredicho tanto el canon literario tradicional como la autoridad que han ejercido los proyectos políticos hasta hace poco todavía vigentes. Based on a varied corpus of contemporary Central American narrative, a discussion is presented here of how the concept and practice of literary expression is transformed. Attention is given to the successive alternatives of testimonial literature, postwar writing, the historical novel and gay/lesbian literature. For three decades—from 1976 to present—the validity of the traditional literary canon and authority prevalent until very recently has been questioned.

Abstract:

Testimonial psychotherapy is a therapeutic ritual for facilitating the recovery of survivors of human rights violations that focuses on sharing the trauma narrative. Originally developed in Chile as a method for collecting evidence during legal proceedings, testimonial therapy has been widely applied transculturally as a unique treatment modality for populations that are not amenable to traditional Western psychotherapy. In this case report, we first review the literature on testimonial therapy to this date. We go on to describe how testimonial therapy has been specifically adapted to facilitate recovery for immigrant survivors of intimate partner violence (IPV). We present three Latin American women who underwent testimonial psychotherapy while receiving psychiatric treatment at a Northern Virginia community clinic affiliated with the George Washington University. The therapy consisted of guided trauma narrative sessions and a Latin- American Catholic inspired reverential ceremony in a Spanish-speaking women's domestic violence group. In this case series we provide excerpts from the women's testimony and feedback from physicians who observed the ceremony. We found that testimonial psychotherapy was accepted by our three IPV survivors and logistically feasible in a small community clinic. We conceptualize testimonial psychotherapy as a humanistic therapy that focuses on strengthening the person. Our case report suggests testimonial psychotherapy as a useful adjunct to formal psychotherapy for post-traumatic stress symptoms.

Abstract:

El texto de Sangre ajena de Arturo Alape explora la vida de un sicario en las calles de Medellín a través del testimonio de Ramón Chatarra. El fenómeno de los sicarios viene de una mezcla de factores sociales, económicos y políticos que el estado colombiano no ha enfrentado y a través del testimonio de Ramón Chatarra, esos factores se convierten en una realidad truculenta. La voz de Chatarra cuenta su historia, es una voz que representa a muchos individuos y hace patente que sus experiencias como sicario no son únicas, sino que son las de una generación de jóvenes desplazados de los privilegios de la ciudad. En este trabajo se analiza el funcionamiento testimonial de Sangre ajena y se demuestra cómo el texto utiliza los recursos del testimonio para retratar la existencia del mundo de Ramón Chatarra. Descriptores: Alape, Arturo; Sangre ajena; Novela testimonio; Literatura de violencia; Sicario. Abstract: Arturo Alape's book, Sangre ajena, explores the life of a sicario in the streets of Medellín. The phenomenon of los sicarios comes to life through the testimony of Ramón Chatarra, whose story reveals many of the social, economical, and political factors that contribute to the crisis-a crisis, in which, the Colombian government has yet to resolve. Chatarra´s voice presents us with a first hand account of this overwhelming reality. He speaks for many and his experiences are not unique but rather those of a generation of young people marginalized from the privileges of society. This essay analyzes the testimonial elements presented in Sangre ajena and demonstrates the ways in which the text emulates the style of a testimonio in order to convince the reader of the existence of Ramon Chatarra's violent world. Key words: Alape, Arturo; Sangre ajena; Testimonio; Literatura of Violence; Sicario.

Abstract:

Abstract The article examines narratives by and about former child soldiers in the Democratic Republic of the Congo, a hitherto neglected corpus despite the topicality of child soldiering in African literatures after 2000. Critical readings of three testimonial texts that have been published in France are juxtaposed with the analysis of one testimonial narrative and one youth novel that have been published in Kinshasa. The editorial framing and narrative strategies that speak to different audiences located in different literary fields are identified. The popularity of testimonial narratives in the West relies on the depiction of violence and the iconic function of the child soldier in medial and human rights discourses. By contrast, narratives about the reconciliation and the reintegration of child soldiers prevail in the DRC. Thus, the different functions of global and local narratives on the sensitive issue of children at war are exposed.

Abstract:

El presente trabajo es la primera aproximación que se realiza desde la perspectiva de la literatura testimonial a las memorias de Gregorio Nacianceno Mata Rodríguez, superviviente del campo nazi de Mauthausen, cuyo texto, escrito en 1971, vio la luz en 2006, tras la muerte de su autor, con el título Nacianceno Mata, un canario en Mauthausen. Memorias de un superviviente del holocausto nazi. Con ese fin de estudiar esta obra, en primer lugar, se la sitúa en el contexto del exilio republicano español y en la tradición de la literatura testimonial producida por los españoles prisioneros en Mauthausen. En segundo lugar, se analizan los rasgos temáticos, formales y pragmáticos del texto de Mata y se aborda la relevancia del contexto de su escritura. Finalmente, se reflexiona sobre la construcción de las memorias sociales a través de la recuperación de los testimonios de los testigos que volvieron al campo de concentración transcurridos los años para seguir recordando tanto lo sucedido como a las víctimas y, de esta manera, presentar en la actualidad una forma de resistencia en un mundo amenazado por la repetición de la Historia.

Abstract:

El artículo busca analizar un testimonio de migración poco abordado por los estudios especializados: el de personas andinas sexo-disidentes originarias de Ecuador que se trasladaron a España. Para ello, se analiza el imaginario de la migración regional (andina) y nacional (ecuatoriana) en la Península para, desde una lectura anticolonial e interseccional del género, hablar de la insignificancia y la resignificación que ciertas personas han realizado a través del testimonio. Finalmente, y a modo de ejemplificación, se examinará el caso de Alex Aguirre, persona trans que reactualiza la plantilla testimonial en la España de hoy en día.

Abstract:

AbstractIn light of recent social psychological literature, I expand Miranda Fricker’s important notion of testimonial injustice. A fair portion of Fricker’s account rests on an older paradigm of stereotype and prejudice. Given recent empirical work, I argue for what I dub prescriptive credibility deficits in which a backlash effect leads to the assignment of a diminished level of credibility to persons who act in counter-stereotypic manners, thereby flouting prescriptive stereotypes. The notion of a prescriptive credibility deficit is not merely an interesting conceptual addendum that can be appended to Fricker’s theory without need for further emendation. I develop the wider implications of prescriptive credibility deficits and argue that they pose a challenge to Fricker’s conception of (1) the function of credibility assignments in conversational exchange and (2) how a virtuous listener should respond to the potential threat of a prejudicial stereotype affecting her credibility assignments.

Abstract:

El artículo analiza dos casos de autorías latinoamericanas que fueron llamadas a juicio debido a la publicación de sus obras literarias que, por su corte testimonial, denunciaban violaciones de derechos humanos. El análisis de Jorge Galán en El Salvador (con la novela Noviembre) y de Graciela Bialet en Argentina (con la novela Los sapos de la memoria) ayudan a entender cuestiones tales como los límites de la ficción cuando media el subgénero testimonial o el valor del texto literario en la búsqueda de la verdad objetiva. La revisión de estos casos desde una perspectiva interdisciplinar obliga a que los Law and Literature studies se contextualicen en América Latina y propongan modos de lectura situados en la región y en sus sistemas jurídico y literario que permitan contestar una pregunta: ¿puede la literatura ayudar en los procesos jurídicos?

Abstract:

Richmond Lattimore's translation of the Iliad was first published in 1951, to great acclaim: ‘The feat is so decisive that it is reasonable to foresee a century or so in which nobody will try again to put the Iliad in English verse.’ That testimonial is reproduced on the back cover of the latest reprint, even though Robert Fitzgerald falsified his own prophecy less than a quarter of a century later. Richard Martin's introduction ends by comparing Lattimore's rendering of 9.319–27 with three older and three more recent verse translations. Lattimore's superiority to Fitzgerald, Fagles, and Lombardo emerges clearly – but that's in a short excerpt. I've always felt a stiffness, and a lack of variety and narrative drive, in Lattimore's version that makes it intolerable for reading at length. In a long epic, that's a serious failing.

Abstract:

El artículo examina, centralmente, las posibilidades del relato testimonial, la memoria y la experiencia para la historia y los estudios historiográficos. Frente a dicho objetivo general, el trabajo asume una perspectiva teórico-crítico-filosófica que busca contrastar y profundizar en aquellas propuestas, ideas o conceptualizaciones más relevantes que han guiado el camino de los debates aludidos para, finalmente, proponer una relectura del testimonio y del relato histórico (en tanto calco que deviene mapa) a partir de las propuestas teóricas deleuzoguattarianas aparecidas en Mil mesetas. Los cinco subtemas que conforman el estudio son los siguientes: “La creencia en la representación histórica”; “Configuración poética de lo real pasado”; “La memoria como matriz de la historia”; “El privilegio de la memoria frente al pacto de verdad” y “El testimonio, como mismo el discurso histórico: un calco que deviene mapa”. Durante la última sección del artículo, y sobre la base de lo abordado con anterioridad, se sugieren y desarrollan dos hipótesis novedosas que podrían constituir el puntode partida de nuevas propuestas conceptuales en torno al género testimonial, específicamente, y en torno a las formas de escritura de la historia, sus procedimientos y modos de comprensión. Dichas hipótesis forman parte de los resultados investigativos del presente ensayo.
