MINARDI, Adriana. Ética y Literatura concentracionaria. Estado de la cuestión y construcción metafórica en El laberinto mágico de Max Aub. CELEHIS [online]. 2016, n.32, pp.69-85. ISSN 2313-9463.

^les^len^aThe article deals with a review of the notion of memory, connected to the question of duty, the usefulness and modalities of speech, and then analyze a borderline work like El laberinto mágico (Max Aub 1943, 1945, 1951, 1963 and 1968). The whole "fields", although being authored by a spanish author, plotted transnational semantic contexts to recover not only the civil war but the Second World War. We analyze the subject and narrative functions of these works within the "concentrationary literature", ie, those narratives that construct the story of the "fields" which, according to Sánchez Zapatero, involves a special kind of genre which refers to a specific and traumatic experience that "(...) beyond show and denounce the inhumanity and horror, tries to become active memory through the interaction with the reader in search of negative reaction." (2010: 31). Our hypothesis observes that the metaphorical figure of the labyrinth is the key to articulate an escape to the imagination that destroys great part of the realistic postulates to which the critique occurs resorts to characterize this type of literature.
