Literary alternatives to the fundational myth of the transition

Abstract

With a strong will to critically rethink the myth of the political transition process in post-Franco Spain, the article analyzes, first, the peculiarities of this process in Galicia and the key role played by the cultura; second, we move on to describe the Transitions singularities viewed from the Galician narrative in the context of literary memorialísticas practices in Galicia, and its specific configuration in this case. This is explained by a problematic management of the processes of memory and oblivion and it results in a dehistorization of the transition, literarily relegated to an adanic timelessness.
