Resumen

Este artículo explora la obra de Lily Brett, The Auschwitz Poems (2004), y la de Elizabeth Rosner, Gravity (2014), dos antologías poéticas sobre el Holocausto de autoras de segunda generación. Mediante el análisis de estos trabajos desde el marco de la posmemoria, mi objetivo es aportar nueva luz en el estudio de la transmisión intergeneracional del trauma a través de una perspectiva de género, examinando sus conexiones con la poesía. En este artículo se argumenta que ambas antologías comparten en sus narrativas una dimensión subyacente de significado centrada en el género y que conciben la posmemoria como una experiencia en gran medida definida por este constructo social. Este trabajo se centra en la disciplina de la posmemoria al concebirla como un proceso de doble filo que puede abarcar tanto la experiencia estética como un activismo social que, estimulado por el feminismo, queda reflejado en la reformulación y la reinterpretación tanto del cuerpo femenino como de las jerarquías de género.
