Zusammenfassung: | The article discusses how in the book Everything is Illuminated the travel experience of the character, who sets off in search of Jewish memories of his grandfather, consists of raw-material for the novel he is writing in order to secure a place in his family tree. Thus, we analyze how the meeting of Jonathan and Lista becomes the climax of the travel and the inspiration to write his novel. It can be argued that there is a circularity to the unarchiving of the memories of the Holocaust undertaken by the main character: The understanding that his place in the story begins with the trip to his grandfather's homeland, but in the impossibility of a reconnection with the past, since the village sought does not exist anymore, this process continues in the fictional writing that recovers such happenings from the traces and residues left by what was experienced. Keywords: traveling; allegory; archives; judaism; writing. O artigo discute como na obra Tudo se Ilumina a experiencia de viagem do personagem, que parte em busca das memorias judaicas de seu avo, se configura em materia-prima para o romance que o mesmo vem escrevendo com o intuito construir para si um lugar na arvore genealogica de sua familia. Assim, analisa-se como que o encontro do viajante-escritor com a personagem Lista se torna o climax da viagem e a inspiracao que desencadeia a escrita do romance. Percebe-se uma circularidade no anarquivamento das memorias do Holocausto empreendido por este judeu norte-americano: o entendimento de seu lugar na historia comeca na viagem a terra de seu avo expulso pelos nazistas, mas na impossibilidade de um reencontro com o passado, posto que o vilarejo buscado ja nao existe, este processo continua na escrita ficcional que recupera tais acontecimentos a partir dos tracos e residuos deixados pelas experiencias do vivido. Palavras-chave: viagem; alegoria; arquivos; judaismo; escrita. L'article explique comment dans l'oeuvre Tout est illumine l'experience de voyage du personnage, qui va a la recherche des memoires de son grand-pere juif, devient la matiere premiere pour le roman qu'il est en train d'ecrire ayant pour but la construction d'une place pour lui dans la genealogie de sa famille. Ainsi, on analyse comment la rencontre du voyageur-ecrivain avec la personnage Lista devient le point culminant du voyage et l'inspiration qui declenche l'ecriture du roman. On remarque une circularite dans anarchivement des memoires de l'Holocauste entrepris par ce juif-americain: |
