| Resumo: | This article aims to analyze the connection between memory and trauma in Viet Thanh Nguyen’s short story “Black-Eyed Women”. The story is part of the collection The Refugees, published in 2018, in which Nguyen addresses the experiences and challenges of refugees. Narrated by a female voice, the story stages the impact of traumatic experiences and the way in which the main character integrates this dimension into her subjective reality. To discuss this representational aspect, this article initially presents the theoretical considerations that underlie the discussion. It then focuses on two movements that characterize the dynamics of the story: encryption/fictionalization and identification/distancing. |
