Maria Tumarkin, writer and cultural historian, joins writer and professor Cristina Garcia Molina to reflect on how we can approach past narratives from the present through the lenses of memory, trauma and loss, on the occasion of the publication of her essay Axiomatic (published in Spanish by Minúscula, 2025).
Suicide, war, language, generational pain and friendship are some of the themes Tumarkin explores through thought, narrative and dialogue. By questioning five commonly accepted axioms, the author invites us to rethink the processes through which individual and collective memory are constructed and the pathways we take to process the past. In doing so, she exposes the underlying tensions in these processes and expands the boundaries of how we reflect on such issues.
Cristina Garcia Molina’s recent publication, Els irredempts (LaBreu, 2023), also delves into a collective memory and the ways in which we remember and interpret the past.
