Challenges in the genealogy of memory of fin secular Jewish-Chilean narrative

Abstract

In this paper we analyze three novels of Chilean-Jewish writers, who dealt with the tradition of this millenary people: Donde mejor canta un pájaro (Alejandro Jodorowsky); Por el ojo de la cerradura (Jorge Scherman Filer); and Las jaulas invisibles (Ana Vásquez-Bronfman). These novels have been composed from the figure of the genealogical tree, based on parodical, allegorical and grotesque discourses, and the humorous irony so familiar among Hebrews.
