| Sumario: | This article deals with the depiction offered by Anne Michaels’s Fugitive Pieces on the impact that trauma has on autobiographical memory, as this limit-experience also illustrates how traumatic memories are stored and processed. More specifically, the present research focuses on the different manifestations exhibited by the protagonist, in order to explore the correspondences and networks between memory, sensory imprints, language and consciousness. This paper aims to develop a framework which may explain how Fugitive Pieces contributes to the understanding of the complex interconnections and performances involved in autobiographical memory, particularly when it applies to traumatised subjects. |
