Viagens, identidade e memória em Agustina Bessa-Luís e Maria Ondina Braga

Translated title of the contribution: Travels, identity and memory in Agustina Bessa-Luís and Maria Ondina Braga

Research output: Contribution to journalArticlepeer-review

Abstract

At the centenary of their birth, we examine the affinities between the Portuguese writers Agustina Bessa-Luís and Maria Ondina Braga: geographical origin, the beginning of their writing life, literary genealogy, taste for chronicles, exchange of correspondence, and other similarities. There is a theme that clearly brings the two writers together, albeit with peculiarities – the fascination with travel, experienced biographically and worked on literarily. From the analysis of short texts by these authors, we can infer some justifying reasons for their attraction to the theme of train travel: the attraction for travel as a form of dialogue with the unknown and with the Other, as a way of reading the world and humanity.
