"Shattering its Pregnant Silences''Silence, Memory, and History as Healing Powers in Abdulrazak Gurnah's By the SeaDíaz Llabrés, Aina MariaSilenceGgenerational traumaMemoryNarrative gerontologyHomeAbdulrazak GurnahBy the SeaIn this dissertation I argue that within Abdulrazak Gurnah's By the Sea, silence can be occasionally necessary and empowering, especially in a situation of forced or illegal migration. Nonetheless, eventually striving away from it is equally necessary. Latif and Omar's generational trauma undergoes a healing process by the act of breaking their silence. Moreover, this silence can only be broken with the perspective provided by temporal and geographical distance. Eventually, their personal narratives challenge traditional history and allow the protagonists to experience a healing and empowering effect when navigating their individual and shared memories.En aquesta tesi argumento que dins de l'obra By the Sea d'Abdulrazak Gurnah, el silenci pot ser ocasionalment necessari i empoderador, especialment en una situació d'immigració forçada o il·legal. No obstant això, a la llarga, allunyar-se d'aquest silenci és igualment necessari. El trauma generacional de Latif i Omar experimenta un procés de curació mitjançant l'acte de trencar el seu silenci. A més a més, aquest silenci només es pot trencar amb la perspectiva proporcionada per certa distància temporal i geogràfica. Finalment, les seves narratives personals qüestionen la història tradicional i permeten als protagonistes experimentar un efecte curatiu i empoderador a l'hora de navegar pels seus records individuals i compartits.Universitat Autònoma de BarcelonaUniversitat Autònoma de Barcelona.

| description |
In this dissertation I argue that within Abdulrazak Gurnah's By the Sea, silence can be occasionally necessary and empowering, especially in a situation of forced or illegal migration. Nonetheless, eventually striving away from it is equally necessary. Latif and Omar's generational trauma undergoes a healing process by the act of breaking their silence. Moreover, this silence can only be broken with the perspective provided by temporal and geographical distance. Eventually, their personal narratives challenge traditional history and allow the protagonists to experience a healing and empowering effect when navigating their individual and shared memories. |
