In order to do so, we will base our examination on the work of a Basque writer who has explored this theme in depth and in a critical way; specifically, on Ramon Saizarbitoria’s novel Martutene (2012), because at the centre of this work is a reflection on the transmission of the nationalist legacy. To begin with, we will reflect on the role that the woman-mother has had as a traditional symbol in representing the homeland. That will give us a means of examining how the spaces that make the motherland connection in Saizarbitoria’s work are represented and problematized; specifically, in order to analyse the representation of the protagonist’s mother’s town. Thus, the dark and alien dimension of the spaces linked to ancestral home and family will also be revealed, among other reasons, because they appear as connected to terrorism. Together with those spaces, we will also explore the protagonists that are emphasized in the transmission of the nationalist legacy, especially women-mothers. The dispute between them, the intergenerational conflict, will call into question what should be preserved and what should be abandoned among future nationalist generations.This publication is part of the projects US 17/10 (UPV-EHU) and FF I2017-84342-P (MINECO) that are being carried out by the research group IT 1046-16.Peter Lang202420242020info:eu-repo/semantics/bookPartapplication/pdfhttp://hdl.handle.net/10810/70559reponame:Addi.
