Th e author observes that the unreliability of memory may undermine the verisimilitude of autobiographical narration. In his works memory has complex functions as an active process realised in the preservation and narration of memories. In If Th is Is a Man, Levi limits the object of his narration to what he personally witnessed and experienced. In Th e Truce he operates a selection of memories, whilst the essay Th e Drowned and the Saved is based on data provided by a substantial corpus of concentration camp literature. Th e purpose of Levi's memorial testimony is to restore certain annihilated aspects of the past and contribute towards the reconstruction of lost personal and collective identities. Furthermore, Levi realises that his narrative functions as some sort of artifi cial memory representing a protective barrier between the present and the traumatic past, whilst also keeping authentic memories at bay and blocking his immediate access to themPrimo Levi, ki je najbolj poznan po avtobiografskih delih, v katerih pripoveduje o ujetništvu v Auschwitzu, se v številnih besedilih ukvarja s pojmom spomina. Opozarja, da lahko nezanesljivost spomina zamaje verodostojnost avtobiografske pripovedi. Spomin ima v njegovih delih kompleksne funkcije kot aktiven proces, ki se realizira prek ohranjanja in pripovedovanja spominov. V delu Ali je to človek avtor predmet pripovedovanja omeji na to, kar je sam videl in doživel. V Premirje uvrsti izbor spominov, medtem ko se v eseju Potopljeni in rešeni opre na podatke iz obsežne taboriščne literature. Namen njegovega pričevanja na temelju spomina je, da nasprotuje izničenju ter prispeva k ponovni izgradnji izgubljene osebne in kolektivne identitete. Levi poleg tega ugotavlja, da pripoved deluje kot nekakšen umetni spomin, ki predstavlja zaščitno pregrado med sedanjostjo in travmatično preteklostjo, hkrati pa izriva pristne spomine in avtorju onemogoča neposreden dostop do njihTEXTznanstveno časopisjejournalsSlovenian National E-content AggregatorNational and University Library of SloveniaZnanstvena založba Filozofske fakultete
