Abstract

El presente artículo pretende revisitar aquellos lugares comunes que tuvieron lugar en el debate acerca del problema de la memoria histórica que, tras la muerte de Franco, no se pudo realizar, empañado por la ficción superadora de la transición. Como explica Francisco Caudet (2008), no basta con desenterrar muertos, asignarles un nombre y pasarlos a la memoria del pasado. Los muertos tienen familia y proyectos políticos opuestos al régimen franquista del nacionalismo católico. En este sentido, la valoración de los ensayos de Juan Benet supone ver el costado no solo crítico y teórico respecto de la ficción sino también político, aquella faceta que, por lo general, queda disociada de la producción autorial benetiana.
 
 This article seeks to revisit those common points that took place in the debate about the problem of the historical memory that, after the death of Franco, could not be realized, clouded by the fiction overcoming the transition. As Francisco Caudet (2008) explains, it is not enough to dig up dead people, assign them a name and pass them on to the memory of the past. The dead have families and political projects opposed to the Francoist regime of Catholic nationalism. In this sense, the evaluation of Juan Benet’s essays presupposes seeing the side not only critical and theoretical with respect to fiction but also political, that facet that, in general, is dissociated from the Benetian authorial production.
